I will have to watch it again to see how it all went down but on first watching it felt like it was mainly about the gold.

NOOOOO WAY! This is certainly one interpretation but I think we are supposed to think that it is 99% for material reasons and then maybe 1% religious. These figures are bullshit of course but that is how I thought of it.

Ummm yes it does. BWB is suffering from massive short term liquidity issues. Gendry is a useful asset but they cannot chop him up and sell him for weapons, armor, food, shelter, repairs etc etc. And did you see how fat those bags of gold were?! And have you seen the amount of things one dragon can buy you in Westeros?!?!
