"Crony Capitalism" refers to corrupt governments that show favoritism to businesses who support them. The analogy is that God apparently just gives some people faith and others no faith, then on paper acts as if the world is a fair playing ground, justifying the punishment of those he doesn't help and the rewards to those who do.
You are right - I'm also not really convinced from the concept to give always all responsibillity for everything to god. This would deny the own responsibility and freedom of decision. On the the other hand: Do you think you will be able to find out what you are doing wrong so you are not able to trust in god? Could there be a Holy Grail filled with his blood and your life? Where is it? - and if: How to drink? http://youtu.be/RtuW08ZIgvg
