What I mean by it being downstream is that the basic value, even the consideration, that a government exists to benefit it's citizenry is downstream of religion, specifically that individuals have the same basic value as persons regardless of economics, politics, or demographics. That's a religious claim that just didn't exist before Christianity.
If people have the same value as individuals, they should all have equal rights to the basic tools of modern living, which means money too. Bitcoin is a conclusion, not an axiom.
