For the sake of / Because of

Hello, I just want to know what's the difference between this two phrases.

I mean, maybe they are very similar, but they are used in different contexts, aren't they?

Thanks in advance!

The 2 mean the same thing, sometimes they are interchangeable other times they aren't Interchangeable in the following: Let's not disagree for the sake a few dollars. Let's not disagree because of a few dollars. Not so much here though: Let's say, for the sake of argument, that she did leave the house.
