Another US perspective here, and one that was raised Catholic:
The loudest christians are often the arch-capitalists as well. I mentioned personal finance talk radio asshole Dave Ramsey in a comment the other day, and he literally says he is teaching people to be good stewards of God's money.
One way he does this, in addition to suggesting getting out of debt and investing in mutual funds, is to talk about how awesome real estate investing and landlording is. He's also into tithing, which means you give 10% right off the top of your income to your local church.
And that's not even scratching the surface once you get into the prosperity gospel. As in, yes Gladys please send me your social security check and that will make God smile upon you and send even more money your way.
Very thick with grifters, much of it is.
I wonder how such people reconcile their vile parasitic behaviour with the teachings of Christ...
