I am far from religious, but one thing most religious traditions have common is how they ban usury/interest which would make much of global finance we have today “haram”.

You can see the reverse effect too not only at an individual but collective level. Once the religious ethos disappears from a sect, widespread adoption of debt becomes the norm.
