<p>Wealth in itself is not evil but only becomes evil when the person idolizes it. Most religions nowadays see wealth as an evil thing based on a conclusive understanding they have reached based on practically observed trends. Every religion has two sides: the spiritual and the physical and most religions hold firm to the stand that the spuritual is more important and so should be your main focus. Based on the trends observed in most religions nowadays, followers tend to focus more on their spiritual aspect as they should in the absence of wealth.</p><p>Things seem to take a rather different turn when their wealthy statues change for the better. Their spirutuality drops and they are much more concerned with enjoying their wealth in the physical so focusing more on the physical than spiritual. Wealth has also been seen in many instances to draw people away from God rather than draw them closer to him. This is a common phenomenon in the world today. People who served Gid tirelessly when they were less wealthy slumber the minute they become wealthy because their god becomes money confirming what is written in Christian bible "one cannot serve God and mammon at thesame time".</p><p>Due to these facts and others, many religions have labelled wealth as evil to some extremes and associated it with evil. </p><p>Hope this helps bro..</p>
