The study, from the nonpartisan wealth research firm New World Wealth, found that of the 13.1 million millionaires in the world, 7.4 million, or 56.2 percent, identify themselves as Christian when asked about their religion. Fully 6.5 percent of millionaires identified themselves as Muslim, 3.9 percent identified themselves as Hindu and 1.7 percent identified themselves as Jewish.
Fully 31.7 percent of millionaires identified themselves as "other," which includes other religions and "no religion."

You shall remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that he may confirm his covenant that he swore to your fathers, as it is this day.
-- Deuteronomy 8:18
This is a meaningless study. Why choose “millionaire” as the basis of the study? Two muslim oil billionaires have more wealth than 10 Christians worth two million apiece. Although all 12 are “millionaires” and the vast majority are Christians, the Muslims in this sample would still have more wealth. So the study is meaningless.
At one point 5 of the 10 richest men in the world were in the Middle East.
They should count billionaires (including atheists like Ted Turner and Bill Gates), not millionaires.
Check my math, but with 14 million Jews worldwide, and 7 billion people on earth, making Jews .2% of the population, and 1.7 percent of the millionaires, then Christians making up the majority of millionaires world wide, wouldn’t that make one think those who worship the God of Isreal got something going for them?
What’s this s@!#$%^. I thought we Jews controlled all of that wealth.
Muslims run a society that keeps the wealth more isolated than does Christianity and Judaism. Generally speaking.
Uh ... those that worship money are the world’s wealthiest. Period.
In 2014 Christian population is 2.01 billion and Muslims are 2.08 billion.

This is changing because the birthrate in Muslim households is greater than that in Christian households.
I’m sure. We white American Christians are birth controlling ourselves out of existence.
Only if you’re reading the comments section at ZeroHedge.
I find it impossible to believe that only 13.1 million people on this entire Earth are worth over 1 million dollars each. I personally know quite a few people who have to be worth at least a million each and I don’t move in elite circles, most of the really well off around here are people I have NOT met.
Pew religion survey finds in 2012 that 31.5% of the world is Christian, 23.2% is Muslim. 16.3% unaffiliated, 15% Hindu, 7.1% Buddhist, 5.9% folk, 1.2% other, 0.2% Jewish.
Could the Christian/Muslim figures change that much in 2 years? Or maybe different ways of taking a survey? Or different definitions of Christianity?
A Muslim once tried to tell me that Jews ran the U.S., though she thought I was one of the smart ones who would realize this and understand.
I said since we had the top per capita income in the world at the time and nation so great we have to build walls to keep people out, we ought to let Jews run the whole world, since they do so well here.
That line didn’t go over well.
Only 13 million would answer the survey. A lot wouldn’t.
More likely, the survey finding nearly equal numbers of Christians and Muslims simply counted every person in a “Muslim country” as Muslim, including Nigeria, Ethiopia, and maybe even India.
One I saw a poster that said, “Warning, the Vatican controls all the gold, all the silver, all the banks, all the governments, all the real estate,.......”
It made me mad. I thought we Jews controlled all that stuff.
