Organized religion is about control, power and massive wealth.

Organized religion is a trillion dollar industry that is a fraud-based, “non-profit”, government supported empire that makes more money than Wall Street while being even more criminal. They make massive profits with “legalized” mob-like: organized crime, grand larceny, money laundering, corruption and ponzi-like schemes. Religion is like a financial black-hole that sucks resources out of economies. It is a cancerous causing parasite on humanity.

Organized religion is big business

2011 Statistics:

“In a world where 1% of the population owns 40% of the planet’s wealth… In a world where 34,000 children die every single day from poverty and preventable diseases and where 50% of the world’s population lives on less than 2 dollars a day… One thing is clear: Something is very wrong!” ~The Zeitgeist Movement

Top 1 Percent Control 42 Percent of Financial Wealth in theU.S.93% of all financial wealth is controlled by the top 10 %.

34,000 children and 16,000 adults die each day from hunger or preventable diseases with poverty-related causes. That amounts to 18 million people per year.

Every 3-5 seconds a child (usually under 5 years old) dies from hunger or preventable diseases. http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=18263

Specifically, 1.2 billion (20%) of the world population now lives on less that $1/day, another 1.8 billion (30%) lives on less than $2/day, 800 million go to bed hungry every day, and 30,000 - 60,000 die each day from hunger alone. The story is the same, when it comes to other necessities like water, housing, education etc. On the flip side, we have increasing accumulation of wealth and power, where the world’s 500 or so billionaires have assets of 1.9 trillion dollars, a sum greater than the income of the poorest 170 countries in the world.

Check out http://www.guidestar.org/ before you donate! Many NPOs are churches hiding behind a label. It is not always east but begin at Guidestar and check the NPO’s social, Website, internet interaction. It usually takes me about 3-10 minutes to out the NPO or find them godFree.

The Japanese Earthquake taught me this. I searched Doctors Without Borders and not only found out they are a Christian Charity but GS allows us to SEE THEIR 990s! Hundreds of thousands in salaries PLUS ‘perks’ paying out Hundreds of thousands more! Then check out the other NONchurch doctor rescue groups and their 990s.

~The bible claims that god commands followers to pay the church or be cursed. Then when you pay, you are promised a greater return of good fortune and protection, which never comes. This is grand fraud!

All big businesses do charity work to portray a good image. Most business charity is about cheap public relations at bargain prices but no big business has a track record as bad as religious ceo’s or leaders. Any other business would go under with only a few charity frauds exposed. Organized religions pump out financial frauds daily, but people keep giving and keep ignoring the sad reality of religious gross misuse of charity monies.

~Articles to show religious financial frauds, scams and thefts:

~Christians run 637 hospitals in America to portray a positive image and make billions of dollars in profit. See how much the top Hospital businesses make?

http://exposingreligionblog.tumblr.com/post/19542571353

The same goes for schools and colleges. These are big businesses that double as indoctrination and brainwashing centers to produce future paying adult customers.

Yes, religious charity organizations raise the most money (thanks to taxpayer’s money illegally funneled to them from the government) but where does it go??????? Nobody regulates them or keeps track. Did you know that governments have given trillions of taxpayer’s dollars to religious institutions? Religious institutions call the press and then begin their “charity” work!

~American Taxpayers are unknowingly, secretly and illegally forced to fund religious charities with billions of dollars.

~Billions of dollars that are donated to churches are used to defend pedophile priests and settle lawsuits for their child raping habits.

Are these the kind of people that you want running your charity? Theists still say, after all this: But some religious charities do good things. Yes it is true but does “some good charity work,” justify or make religion good overall? You decide:

I could list over 100 specific religious atrocities but here are a few, rape, torture, murder, war, ethnic cleansing, genocide, slavery, segregation, racism, discrimination, bigotry, hate, oppression, abuse, child rape/abuse/molestations, war on science, war on education, war on medicine, war on knowledge, war on inquiry, war on history, war on technology, war on human rights, war on women, war on the LGBT community, war on freedom, and the list goes on and on.

Religious leaders have done each of these things throughout time as well as today. They have done those things hundreds, thousands, and some, millions of times. The thousands of religious leaders who have done these things, do them because they do not believe the religion (including the man-invented gods and man-written scripture) that they sell to the public; so why should anyone? It discredits their product. All religion is a lie and an evil business empire. Yes, evil. The word has been defined by organized religion.

The catholic church could open one of their gold vaults, with money and gold stacked as far as the eye can see and they could help every single poor person in the world. They could totally eliminate poverty forever. The cost to them would be equivalent to a tenth of a penny when compared to an average person. This will never happen because they are selfish. The helpless, poor, sick, needy, homeless, poverty-stricken, suffering, uneducated, and downtrodden people (especially of third-world nations) are easily exploitable and give the church the power of the majority. Helping these poor people just enough to keep most of them breathing, raises the church up in a false light as the church steps on their heads. Without all that human misery and suffering, the church would become less important and needed. The church would have less power and no cheap public relation tools. They wouldn’t have anything to make people turn their head, close their eyes and plug their ears of all the extreme church wrong-doings, injustices, atrocities and their true motives would come to light. Without poverty, there would be one less big arguing point of the church’s relevance in our new day and age.

Fundamentalists make up around 20-30% of christians and it is higher in muslim theocracies. These fundamentalists are the leaders of most branches of both religions. The “liberal and moderate” majority are to blame just as much as the fundamentalists. They stand by and allow their religions to be run by fundamentalists. Many of them defend fundamentalists and most damming; they fund their fundamentalist leaders through tithing and donations. When did the church excommunicate Hitler, or stand up to their KKK the Westboro Church or 100 other like christian organizations? They haven’t and they won’t. What percent of the thousands of pedophile priest child rapists are in prison? The church’s official position is to attack the child victims; to blame hundreds of thousands of raped and abused children and fight against them in court. Where is the outrage and protests by the christian liberal-moderate majority? Where is this claimed christian majority? Many of them are here on Facebook, fighting non-christians who stand opposed to their fundamentalists. ~ExposingReligion

Religious Organizations should lose all federal tax-payer’s funding. Secular organizations can replace them and do a much better job, without stealing and selfish motives!
