In that context, the two are one in the same. The love of money creates evil when it causes you to cross any bounds to gain access to it. Religion creates evil when you would cross any bound to meet a need to be part of a superior group. Either way, when taken to extreme there is suffering and death. Either way there is something not getting to the wielder of evil about the worth of virtue and compassion on their own merit.
The two variables are also similar in that they influence attempts to destroy them that are just as counterproductive to humanity.
