Most if not all religions focus on living more for the family/God than it does for material wealth. In Christanity's case, it is becuase God is the ultimate being in the existance of the universe and we should not let material man-made items/ideas interfear with our worship of Him.

On a side note, being a Buddhist has always struck me as being a part of the ultimate liberal religion. I mean, a rich guy goes out, sees a poor person, freaks out, runs to the mountains and then comes back "enlightened" with no proof whatsoever, spouts off some stuff to movitate more poor people not to do anything about being poor but to just wait till you die so you can get another shot at it. Seems kinda wussy to me. Except for the kung-fu guys, of course.

Edit: Forgive me. Buddha went into a forest and climbed a tree and sat.
