A point against religion but a point in favor for the truth of Jesus of Nazareth's words: "Woe to you who are rich, for you have received your comfort." (Luke 6:24)
These kinds of teachings were necessary for organized religions in large societies, because people could plainly see the rich being rewarded over and over again, while the poor were screwed over. For a religion to gain traction in such an environment, it would have to teach of a Great Equalizer, such as karma or omniscient and omnibenevolent god(s).
That death leaves both poor and rich in the same situation is of little comfort to the man shivering in the cold as he watches the rich in their mansions. There needs to be another chapter to the story, where the poor man finally gets his share. Religions can provide this because they tell stories of life after death that are comforting to the downtrodden.
I won't be able to, but my genetic semi-copies with heavy memetic influence from me will be able to. It's not about me, the individual. It's about the genes and memes that compose me, and accumulating wealth does pretty well at ensuring replication of those genes and memes.
>Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God." (Matthew 19:24)
