‘I’ve never seen an industry more religious than the Risk and Safety industry, Particularly because the nature of saving lives is a form of soteriology’

Salvation Theology; An introduction to Soteriology by Joseph Thomas

Soteriology: The fundamental idea contained in the English word salvation, and the Latin salvatio and Greek sōtēria from which it derives, is that of saving or delivering from some dire situation. The term soteriology denotes beliefs and doctrines concerning salvation in any specific religion, as well as the study of the subject. The idea of saving or delivering from some dire situation logically implies that humankind, as a whole or in part, is in such a situation. This premise, in turn, involves a series of related assumptions about human nature and destiny.

So with Soteriology being the study of Salvation, is it a short step from Safety>Saving>Salvation?
