Poverty and religions ?!!

Poverty means “Is being without things, having little money, not many material
possessions and in need of essential goods”
Religion means “a pursuit or interest followed with great devotion”
Devotion means “love, loyalty, or enthusiasm for a person or activity”

So, according to these meanings, a religious person should have love, loyalty and enthusiasm to his/her prophet’s ideology despite of the prophet that person worships.
Now, what all prophets have in common? undoubtedly, all of them bring some rules and teachings to persuade mankind to be more gentle to his spices, be more human, more helpful, more kindness, and less cruel to others. So, we will definitely find the same ideas toward helping others, especially, about the poor in all religions which have been dispread around the world. In spite of all differences that every body can clime about religious, nobody can say that the prophets did not mention anything about giving charity to people is “in need of essential goods.”
Therefore, if we were religious person or even we were not a religious person but believed in humanity there should be no any poor person existed in this planet. So, when we see million men, women and children die of hunger or illness or lacking a shelter in winter, it is an evidence that not only we are not a religious person but also we are not even human beings because if we see all this pains around us and being indifference, show that we are a selfish creatures who want every things just for themselves. Actually, we are inattention all those properties will stay here and we will be buried just by a simple cloth and none of those luxury cars or houses or gold and jewelries will help us to leave longer. Finally, just try to be less selfish and be more human or be more loyal to those things we believe in.
