Allow me to make it up to you by offering you a job 4,000 miles away. No, no, I insist.

In former times it was used as fire insurance by the rich, but now that the fear of Hell has gone along with the rest of revealed religion, it is used either to gild mean lives with nobility or as a political instrument.
