I think it points a finger at the new bastardised strand of christianty, that preaches easy fixes, like fighting for the glory of your country in "the trenches", or making money "hacking away" to get to heaven.
Or maybe it is saying that people are treating capitalism like a religion to live by where the game is to accumulate as much as you can, without caring about others.
The last line is clever. First it recalls a biblical reference to a vengeful god that gives and then takes away. Second, they simply point out that you've got to give "to take away". That is, there are consequences for blindly questing after money, without thinking about "the score". What are the environmental cost to economic progress? Third it seems like appeal to such people to stop being so selfish and give as well as take away.
