What you say is true. And yet...
Knowing God, knowing Christ, is supposed to change you. (If it doesn't, maybe you're headed for "Depart from Me, for I never knew you".) It's supposed to change you to love people, even your enemies. It's supposed to change you to not love the things of this world - money and power. You're supposed to live that out.
So, yes, to first order, Christianity is very much not about money or politics. It's about you and God. But to second order, it's about everything. It's about caring for the widow and the orphan and the alien. It's about not ripping other people off, but instead giving to meet the needs of people around you. It's about loving people, even if they're not in your church or of your race or your political persuasion. It's everything you do, and how and why you do it.
