God and Money, By Thomas Kostigen
Investment funds, investment strategies and investment advisers specialize in particular religious beliefs, tailoring products and services to a certain faith's principles. There are even faith-based hedge funds. These mechanisms and maneuvers tie into both old and new ways of thinking about being rich.
Muslims, for example, are forbidden from receiving interest from their investments, so practices have to be established to adhere to this principle. And certain Christian groups forbid investing in anything that promulgates birth control.

In any event, people now seem to want God on their side when they are making money.
Wachovia's Calibre multifamily office, which conducted the survey of people with more than $25 million to invest, found that 47% called their wealth "a blessing from God." Eighty-five percent have had their wealth for 10 years or less, Wachovia's Calibre said.
It didn't say whether or how much they donated, or what else they did with their money. But I bet the Atlanta-based Christians Financial Professionals Network, which has trained 1,000 advisers, could tell you.
It seems God and money may no longer be at odds. In fact, combining the two may be a new way to attract investors to the capital markets. After all, the Bible doesn't say, "Money is the root of all evil." It says, "The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil."
The difference in wording could make you rich -- with God's blessing.
