If you read the prophetic books of the Bible, God destroyed Israel & allowed Judah to be taken into slavery because of idolatry and exploiting the poor (they tend to go together). Not everyone was, God told Ezekiel, that, out of a 6 million member "church", 7000 remained faithful (probably a similar percentage today).
The Bible calls the poor "God's people." When the wealthy "redistribute" the combined wealth of the poor into their own coffers, in God's name, no less, as the "Christian Right" has encouraged, and presume to sully God's name further by identifying themselves as a "Christian Nation," all hell is going to hit the fan.
