Do you know which is the world's biggest company? Do you know about the man who sits on world's biggest wealth reserve? Catholic church has the value of 10 trillion and Pope sits on world's biggest wealth reserve. The nearest competitor is Apple which has the net worth of 2.08 trillion. 
Have you ever listened to what Catholic church says? It says money is the root of all evil, money is not source of happiness, and ll those bullshit. 
Why does God need money? Why does church need money? 

One of the reasons why people think money is evil is because religion discourages you to make money and build your fortune, instead you are required to donate everything you have. I don't know whether this has been mentioned n religious documents like Bible, Quran, or the Bhagavata Gita, however, if you listen to religious leaders in any religion you will see that they will always denounce money.
