More likely that a camel pass through the eye of a needle.
The similarity I see between our money problem and our god problem is interesting. A lot of us westerners, especially the younger ones, worship money. We will do anything to get it, we will sell ourselves for it. We enter into an unhealthy relationship with a fiat object. Modern money is a sham though, that point must be made. Bits of gold for food is old fashioned currency, and it was a lot better than bartering or trading. But Modern Money and it's systems are not that, they are a fraud. The further removed from real wealth (food, time, energy, saftey), the easier it is for skinny stupid people to hoard it.
So I see a relationship, a similarity in peoples unhealthy relationship with a bad idea of what money is, and peoples unhealthy relationship with a bad idea of what god is.
In the sense that real wealth has nothing to do with cotton paper slips, or blips on a computer, may be god has nothing to do with all the silly modern conceptions. May be we are fooled, and like in Orwells "Keep the Aspidistra Flying", to hate money is the same sickness as loving it. To hate a false god is just as bad as loving him.
