Or, to clarify with an example:

Cheating:  I get $100, costing you $200.
Government: I fine you more than $100 for cheating, so it isn't worth it.
Religion: I reward you with more than $100 for not cheating, so it isn't 
worth it.

The idea comes from my attempts to write a constitution for my own little 
island empire based on sound reasoning and logic. :-)
