There is no, and never has been a truly Christian society/government. If any government were to ever exist, it would legislate and enforce its doctrine. Liberal stances on things, and open freedoms, would ultimately spell suicide for the state (look at the clashes between secularism and non-secularism in Israel).
A REAL "Christian" society probably
would force you to do things, period.

To what status? Does God only love those who have a certain median income and a car????
I think Jeanette is more on the money with this. Wealth could very easily be viewed as a "worldly" pleasure, much like sex and drugs. All of these things distract you from your true relationship with God, and thus stand often in opposition with God.
