Agreed, this is only true for Calvinism my bad. I admit that it's a horribly outdated theory, but it's still useful for understanding the rise of the modern age if you are interested in economical theory. What is important is that 'normal' labour became a virtue whose rewards were seen as god looking kindly upon you, while before the reformation only work for 'the church' was considered virtues.
edit, church isn't really the correct word but you know what I mean
