Are the wealthy people of America Christian?

I'm talking wealthy, not rich. Wealthy. (Chris Rock gave an example of how to differenciate between the two - Shaquille O'Neal is rich, the guy who signs his paychecks is wealthy.) I'm talking: Warren Buffet, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, George W. Bush (member of Skull %26amp; Bones).



Would you say the truly wealthy in this country are Christian?Are the wealthy people of America Christian?
Not generally, no. But, there are some rich televangelists.

Christianity was originally intended for slaves - to give them hope that they could never otherwise have, because they were slaves. The wealthy need no such "hope" - they're wealthy.

And, those peddling the "hope" knew that they could not deliver on their empty promises in this life - so, they promised they would be fulfilled in the next life. And, the uneducated slaves bought it - because they were uneducated slaves.
it really is not possible to know what the beliefs of a large demo graphical section of society are.



because of the nature of christianity, there are people who are truly wealthy who are real christians, and there are people who are truly wealthy who think that they are christians but are not really according to the bible, and there are people who are truly wealthy who are agnostic and some who are atheists, so the wealthy are like any other people group...some are, some are wanna bes, some don't know and some aren't.



however, the bible does say that is it very hard for the wealthy to inherit the kingdom of God because they tend to put their wealth and the pursuit of it before God.Are the wealthy people of America Christian?
Some may be but the Bible teaches that it is hard for the rich to get saved.

King Solomon was made rich because he humbled himself before the creator God of the Bible.

This is how it works .......The Lord brings blessing to all men and special blessing to those that are HIS and desire to do HIS will.

7 And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I [am but] a little child: I know not [how] to go out or come in. 8 And thy servant [is] in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude. 9 Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people? {understanding: Heb. hearing} 10 And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. 11 And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; {long life: Heb. many days} {discern: Heb. hear} 12 Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. 13 And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days. {shall...: or, hath not been}

1 Timothy 6:9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and [into] many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

Proverbs 11:28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.

Proverbs 28:11 1 The rich man [is] wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.
There is a major difference between people who pay lip service to the Lord and ones who do His will. Most, if not all the rich in this world are loyal to mammon, not God. They are friends of the world and loved as one of its own. You can tell by the fruit they bear, and most, if not all of the people on your list there are loyal to their money, not God. Just because you claim to be something does not mean you actually are.Are the wealthy people of America Christian?
Some are. Some aren't.



Bill Gates %26amp; Warren Buffet are atheists.

George W. Bush is Christian.

From what I've read, Steve Jobs was Buddhist. (Born into Christian family, converted to Buddhism.)



There's a mix of religious beliefs amongst the wealthy.
I do believe that both Gates and Buffet are atheists actually.
Christianity has nothing what so ever to do with wealth or visa versa.
Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are atheists.
Not christians in the good sense of the word but deists or theists who are still delusionals!!!
Why would an atheist like you care?



You don't even believe there is a God.
Bill Gates is atheist. And I think Buffett is as well.
usually no..
The wealthy come in ALL types, just like any other group of people
JEWS
no, they are jewish.
warren buffet and bill gates are atheist, i heard jobs was buddhist (so atheist) don't know if it's true or not. and bush, i havn't decided if he actually is religious or if he was faking it for votes and such. on a side not for those of you christians who say atheists are selfish and only religious people do charity, warren buffet has pledged something like 99% of his wealth to philanthropy in his life time. christians are not the only ones that do charity atheists do to the difference is atheists do it to help people theists do it to buy their way into heaven.
