You could create your "renewed world" during your life, huh?
Much better than expecting to get it after you die, isn't it?
Do it yourself!

Money has nothing to do with spirituality. I'm not religious, still I can't see what the connection is here.

Good question. Personally I feel I would be more inclined to believe in a higher power. Money can buy what you want, but it also brings so many fake friends, greedy family members and really would leave you very lonely. Look at the world today and its obsession with money. Those who dont have a sense of grounding are walking around lost and desparate. Having a spiritual belief opens so many more doors and gives you a sense of power money cant buy.

I don't think that I would dismiss my beliefs. They may stammer a bit as I adjust to the new found wealth. However, depending on your particular belief (Christianity for example) it really does not matter what you try to accomplish, the end is forthwith anyhow.
Personally, I wouldn't try to change the world, just make it more comfortable for those whom I knew and bless a few just because I could.

oh man, what I could do with a Billion dollars!
No I would not give up my religious beliefs. In fact, I would thank God for the ability to use that money in a way that God wants me to do so. Yes, I would take care of my own needs including paying off my student loans and ensure my family is cared for, and I would set up my husband and children with the means to take care of their business and education and health needs.
But I would also use that money for some ideas that I have, including setting up a women's center to overcome barriers to support their children and creating an educational trust fund for adults to return to school for their degrees.

Of course not! I wouldn't be much of a believer if I let a bit of money change my mind, would I? I would love to have tons of money - it could help so many people. Any money would be an answered prayer, and being blessed I would hope I would spread the blessings around.

You don't have to be a billionaure to think religious beliefs are obsolete. Like you don't have to be religious to be a good person.

No. If I suddenly became a billionaire tomorrow I would thank God with every breath in my body, because He would have truly blessed me.

What does money have to do with faith? Someone who loses their faith over money is sad, indeed.
If I became a billionaire tomorrow, I would donate tons of funds to end world hunger, end factory farming, bring awareness to people which will help them make better choices.
I would have MORE faith - not less.

No matter how much money I have now, it won't change what happened in the beginning, nor will it have an effect of things after I die. For that, I will still need the Bible.
