Bahá'i is also an Abrahamic religion, by the way. It basically splintered from Shia Islam.
Prosperity gospel is not an original feature of Christianity nor of Islam. Rich people who've been dodging taxes would certainly populate hell as imagined in these traditions.
Bahai is an eclectic remix, redo, reframe of the old "hits". I don't consider it Abrahamic only pecause Bahaullah was inspired by Abrahamic religion. The flavor is completely different, and the behavior too. I don't see Baha'i as a threat the same way Christianity, Islam, and some conservative strains of Judaism are.
What matters to me are not words, but function. What do their clerics preach? What do their doctrinal documents say? I judge every religion harshly. Many doctrinal statements do not pass the sniff test.
That said, the people for whom the religions serve as cultural background, are not simply robots who implement all aspects of relidious doctrine at all times. I judge people on how they live their lives, and on what they want to do in the world as I intimately know and experience it.
So Zohran is great, but not Islam. Talarico is great, but not Christianity. I may agree with many things Pope Leo says, but my world is better without the Catholicism. Etc.
