On Wednesday’s Nightly Show, host Larry Wilmore and his panel attacked “prosperity gospel” preachers like Creflo Dollar for exploiting their congregations in the name of Jesus Christ.
The “prosperity gospel” is the fastest growing Protestant group according to religious scholar Reza Aslan. It argues that God rewards the righteous with material wealth, and that it is their duty to flaunt it by conspicuously consuming as much as they can afford.

Or, as Wilmore put it, “When did Jesus start a hip-hop label?”
“Have megachurches gone too far?” he asked. “Let me put it this way — when your church sounds like an evil Transformer, you’ve gone too far.”
After a clip discussing Creflo Dollar’s appeal to parishioners for help buying a $65 million Gulfstream jet, Wilmore said, “I don’t know if I should be more shocked at a new jet or that his name is ‘Creflo Dollar.’ It just seems so on the nose — like a serial killer named ‘Jack Knife,’ or a bank robber named ‘Phillip Z. Bag.’”
