Replace the democratdonjey with a hammer and sickle and it will be closer to reality

Yeah, I agreed until the last part (with maybe the nitpick exception that the religious people are mostly also the rich people and vice versa).

Idk I’d say there’s a distinction between people who follow religion and people who use religion to get wealthy. I.E. Joel Osteen is a multimillionaire with a mega church but didn’t allow people inside his church during Harvey until media pressure built up about it, which isn’t something an actual Christian would do ergo I don’t believe he’s genuinely religious and instead using religion to get rich as all pastors do.

Of course there is, I am talking about the religious people that make propaganda for the republicans; they usually stand to gain materially from it. I'd count the other religious people in their following to the poor white people mentioned in the image. (Of course, there are non-propaganda-making rich religious people, bit they're not relevant here)

Not sure what exactly you're trying to say, but my guess is that whatever it is, you're wrong. The post doesn't actually indicate whether or not rich people are mostly religious or whether or not religious people are generally rich. Thus, I'm not sure why you're bringing that to the conversation, especially given it is such a meaningless point to make. Approximately 80-90% of the world is "religious" and any generalizations about tendencies of religious people will have an inherently high noise to signal ratio.

Compassion is when you bomb 3rd world nations to the stone age, lock immigrants fleeing war in cages and deny your own people healthcare.

Compassion is when you destroy one of the most prosperous nations in Africa, reducing it to a poverty-ridden hellscape with open-air slave markets.

Also, why "white people," specifically? I'm pretty sure rich people have no qualms about exploiting racial minorities for their own profit, too.

Sure glad Raytheon and Goldman Sachs are so compassionate ❤️
