I think this is basically a reflection of what had been called the Protestant Ethic.

Prosperity Gospel. Basically, if you're a good Christian you'll be rewarded. If not, tough noogies.

I think it was Ghandi who said "I quite like your Christ, but I don't like your Christians. They aren't like your Christ." One big problem is that you can find justification for almost anything in the bible. Slaves? Check. Charity? Check. Giving your daughters to a mob? Check. (And lots more...too much to enumerate here.)
