Mathew 6:19-34

19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy (generous), your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are unhealthy (stingy), your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

more so, claim that god wants us to toil day in and day out for material wealth, and get a passage saying the exact opposite.

Belief in god is the most common delusion.

I do not know why accepting nothingness and the unknown is so hard for some.

It's not that believers don't accept nothingness, it's that they believe there is something.

we are eternal spirits created simple and ignorant (perfect justice)
learn to grow with our effort (merit)
all that is given to us is for our moral and intellectual improvement.
would be interesting to join you in the best university in the world without studies and dedication?

It's not necessarily hard to do, it just doesn't make sense for the vast majority of people. Even hipster agnostics claim to be spiritual. Christopher Hitchens himself believed in some kind of spiritual dimension, even though he was a famous agnostic.

It's really not that hard to open your mind up a little bit and understand why most human beings are not naturalists. Anyone who thinks the answer is obvious probably hasn't thought it through.
