I think you mean -1 for Christianity. Christian leaders think that fear will hold the people in line, but then turn around and sell indulgences and absolution. The poor may feel like they have to toe the line, especially when people are looking, but the rich know they can buy their way into heaven. Ignore camels and needle's eyes, the currency of the church is the same as in the board room, and the golden rule is exclusively about the commodity and the only reciprocity in it is the earthly interpretation of a divine quid pro quo.
