Picard said it best in "First Contact" --
"The economics of the future are somewhat different. Money doesn't exist in the 25th century. The accumulation of wealth is no longer the driving force in our lives. We work for the betterment of humanity."

It is quite the fragile god who needs political power to preserve and enforce their will.
It is quite the powerful God who is born in poverty, partners with the poor, washes feet, heals the sick, advocates for the oppressed, is unjustly killed and still changes the entire world.
