Most people on the planet would have an opinion that “having more money” is a good thing.

With lots and lots of caveats. Other people having more money isn't necessarily a good thing, having too much money isn't necessarily a good thing, getting that money in a 'wrong' way isn't necessarily a good thing, having more money only to spend it 'wrong' isn't necessarily a good thing etc. etc. Once you encode and average out all those caveats you start getting close to a system of morality that can underpin a religion.
