As we move further into a buy now, pay later society, your credit score becomes more and more important. What is the minimum acceptable credit rating? Could it be 666. Without that minimum number, one definitely has trouble buying anything on credit. And we continue to get pushed into a credit only society. Is the mark not a physical mark, but a line in the sand, like, on your marks, get set, go! type of mark?
Don't get me wrong, if you borrow, you should pay back. But there's been plenty of good, honest people who lost everything they worked for because they couldn't pay the bank, or the lender. Is money really that important, that we need to ruin someones life if they get a few months behind? Think about it.

The only people that believe in the mark of the beast are Christians, right? So what does that have to do with all of us people that practice religions that are atheist or the atheist themselves.?

There's a correlation between credit rating and "guilt".
There is a correlation between guilt and the "mark of the beast".
The "beast" is guilt itself.
The "beast" is the concept of guilt.
The concept of guilt precedes all metaphysical manifestation.
So,
The "beast" precedes "the cosmos".
"The cosmos", therefore, "rides on the back of the beast".
The cosmos offers the illusion of love for a price.
So,
The cosmos is like a "whore".
Bodies are evidence of guilt.
Bodies are manifested upon the back of the beast, so-to-speak.
The "number of the beast" is simply *many*.
The concept of numbers is the domain of the beast.
It is the realm of fractions and multiples...multiplicity.
There are *many* numbers of bodies in the realm of the beast.
A body is one of many unique and different individuals.
Many unique, different, and/or special individuals is the domain of the beast.
These attributes "mark" the beast's domain.
A body is a manifestation of the beast's purposes...of its "mark".
So a body is "evidence" of, or, "the mark of" the beast.
The circumstances of the world are for proving that the beast is real.
The beast sets them up..."forordaining" them to "come to pass".
That is, all the forms [bodies], events and circumstances of the cosmos are for proving that guilt is real and valid.
Note well: There is a correlation between the "reality" of the cosmos, and the "reality" of guilt itself.
Either "justify" the "reality" of the "beast".
The solidity of the cosmos is correlated to how guilt has been concretized from concept to..."welcome to reality", so-to-speak.
Rather, it is more like, "welcome to the Hotel California".
When people go into debt, it is "proof" that they are, in a sense, *guilty* of something such as overextension, or, overreaching.
And they feel *guilty* when they can't make their payments and their credit score drops.
So, yes, there is a correlation, but it is not the whole story.
The world of the beast seems to prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that guilt is the truth.
It exists merely to *justify* its existence.
But the truth is, guilt is a lie, and no one is guilty of anything.
When anyone struggles to justify their existence within the world of the beast, he will always be made to look and feel guilty for something, sometime...somewhere...somehow.
When one stops fighting for survival in such a world, he may find the way to escape such a world.
The cosmos of the beast is experienced when one overextends himself past the realm of true reality.
The cosmos of the beast is an expression of reaching beyond - overreaching - past the totality of everything.
So long as we hold on to nothing with a tight fist, we will have nothing to show for it but a guilty feeling and the feeling of loss.
We loan our unreality to ourselves on "time".
And we "pay" for our illusions with what we do not have.
