I don’t intend to come across as combative. I agree prosperity theology is nonsense from a Bible point of view. However, as I see things, a very large percentage of Christians and Christian churches act in ways contrary to Biblical teaching. Isn’t it the case that everyone pretty much ignores the parts they don’t like and clings to the parts that they do like? Prosperity theology isn’t to your liking so you condemn it. For others it resonates with them. I think it’s understandable since every religious person chooses the parts they follow and disregards the parts they don’t like. (I’m an atheist so I’m not approaching this from a religious perspective.)

I think you're spot on. Between culture and money, there are is a lot of pressure to fit your religion into your existing communities or lifestyle.
Same is true of my Hindu and Muslim friends who, at a certain net-worth or moving to a certain geographic area are suddenly much less interested in what their religions say.
