If an organised religion has amongst its founding doctrines 'to administer to the poor' - it rather has a vested interest in ensuring that it always has some poor to administer to.

And therefore no real interest in preventing poverty. For no organised religion has any interest in removing one of its prime reasons for existence and putting itself out of a job. It fact the argument could be made and there is evidence to support this - that like Governments and political parties - the main role of organised religions is to self-perpetuate. To seek power and influence and to then to do whatever it takes to hold on to it - sometimes at any cost.
