Satan is the Common Enemy for Everyone
About two-thirds of Americans believe in the afterlife. And 77% of Americans believe in the God or gods. However, crimes on assets occur in a ratio of more than 20,000 cases per 100,000 people in the U.S. every year.
This fact tells that the notion that there is the afterlife or the spirit world is not enough to prevent people from falling into crimes.
People should also believe that only poor and faithful men can be accepted in Heaven while rich men should fall into the hells after death in this world as Christ Jesus told people 2,000 years ago.
Indeed, the core of the teachings of Christ Jesus is that rich men cannot enter Heaven but poor men can do after death in this world. If people believe in this teaching of Christ Jesus, this world should become a place for competition for poverty.
However, since the beginning of material civilization thousands of years ago, men have pursued wealth to be happy in this world. This is the main cause of problems, pains, and unhappiness for people in this world. But, Christ Jesus came to this world to tell people the truth that rich men could not enter Heaven when their souls entered into the spirt world after death in this world. This teaching is so revolutionary that people who first heard these words were astonished, but many of them accepted it. Christian churches of today should also be based on this revolutionary teaching.
In this sense, Christianity should be a religion where poverty is pursued rather than a religion to make people rich and happy in this world. Men should be poor in this world but happy forever in the afterlife or men should fall into the hells forever after having rich and happy life in this world for some decades. In other words, men should take eternal life and happiness in the afterlife or temporary happiness in this world.
If men are not brainwashed with money by Satan, men should naturally and rationally take poverty in this world and eternal life and happiness in the afterlife rather than luxury life or happiness in this world but pains in the hells in the afterlife.
So, Satan who arouses material lusts in us is the common enemy for everyone. Or, if you want money to be happy in this world, you have been already brainwashed by Satan. Every religion should teach people that their enemy is Satan who makes them pursue money and wealth in addition to happiness, higher status or power of domination in this world.

Luke 5, King James Version22 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?
23 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?
24 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.
25 And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.
26 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.
