Look into the era of art in the Barouque & Rococo periods, specifically the art of the dutch. Their religion was a split from the catholic church, and they decided that one could have paintings of decadent feasts, and everyday life merry-making because it showed that god rewarded them for their hard work. The religious ideas that were of those people who wer known by the United States as Pilgrims had this same religion, and it has been a part of the US ethic ever since.

In fact, many religions push the idea of rewards for deeds done in the name of good.
