    One is very spiritual. The other reeks of social stratification.

This is one of the core complaints atheists and agnostics generally harbor towards organized religion in general.

The article misses the mark: It isn't about "working hard" it's about "working hard for yourself" where "for yourself" has been accidentally and deliberately obscured. The dichotomy is not whether or not you work hard, it's whether or not you benefit from working hard and all-encompassing inclusivity is being sold as the tool of obfuscation. But I mean, Model T assembly line workers lived in Ford housing so STFU about the novelty here. The term "factory town" is more than a hundred years old.

The author's beef is that she senses the inequality between "work in" and "benefits out" but that shit predates writing.
