So religion caused all this wealth inequality?


No, though religion sometimes justifies inequality, by claiming that those at the bottom of society were put there before birth as part of God's grand design. Calvinism's tenet of Predestination claims exactly that.

AFAIK, Calvinism is alone among Christian denominations in making that prejudgement.
