Consider how much poverty is removed by them when they have no obligation to do so as opposed to the religious institutions who raise the majority of their money on the premise that it is going towards a good cause and still often come out equally as rich and philanthropic as the corporations and millionaires/billionaires who have no moral obligation to be philanthropic.
Religion favoured the poor? Have you not noticed the giant golden palace the pope lives in? All the while he's preaching humility and equality... what a joke. The reason more poor people are religious is due to lack of education and the fact that missionaries who claim to be trying to help these people are often just as concerned with filling their converts quota. It's like a pissing contest amongst clergy, see who can convert the most because they are most certainly rewarded from the top for their efforts, and if that involves making conversion to the Christian faith compulsory for poor to receive their meal then many would do it, and i can't blame them, i would too was i that desperate.
