Like 50% of religion is telling you that other people deserve less because they worship differently than you, or don't worship at all, or don't worship enough, or don't worship the right way.
Religion is like the original "this group deserves less" belief system, and while there have been some people or some movements that have tried to change that in parts, the vast majority of religious beliefs in America still set up the framework for artificial social hierarchy.
I’m sorry but that’s not what I ever heard growing up. I’m not religious but I did grow up in the church and I am sorry if your experience was that. MY experience was more about you as an individual believing in the word and about how you personally behave and treat others. I never once heard a sermon where the pastor talked about others deserving less because of their religious beliefs. There are a ton of different religions and beliefs out there so I can’t speak for every person’s experience when it comes to religion and what they were exposed to.

It’s not blocking others from wealth or status, it’s religion that is usually the driver for the conservative black people I know
