Most British colonization of the Carribean, Asia and Africa was undertaken for commerial reasons. In some colonies of this kind the local Britons tried to ban missionaries as they were regarded as subversives1 (For example, in 1816 an attempt was made to ban missionaries from Jamaica, and the East India Company regarded them as a nuisance).
It was late in Queen Victoria's reign that somethow God, Queen and Country (Empire) were all fused into a vast mish-mash.

"Gold, God, and Glory" is a phrase giving the reasons why the early Italian explorers went to the Americas. When you think of the actual trip the Spanish had to endure to reach America from Italy, they had to have very important reasons to risk starvation, drowning, disease, and murder. Rumors of gold - amounts beyond their wildest dreams - made men believe they could get rich quickly. Glory was to be found in the adventure and in the land they might claim, making them rich lords instead of poor sailors. Some went believing that they must bring their religious beliefs to the peoples of the Americas, and that God would reward them for doing it. So, "Gold, God, and Glory!"
