How much money does your religion sucker from you each year?

According to a Chicago Tribune article Christianity is “a more than $4 billion a year religious entertainment industry, including amusement parks, music, books, movies and wrestling matches.”
… and that is but a part of it.
I contend that religions are right up there with the “Enron”s of the world.
There is a hierarchy that lives very well off of believers flow of cash. Some
like Reverend Haggard even managed to enjoy contributors cash at his both ends.
As I understand Christian history, in biblical days congregants met in
believers homes and the service leader had another job to supply his income.
What a change from todays mega churches.
Can you be honest with yourselves as to why you shell out hard earned
cash to commune with your God?
Is calling you a sucker appropriate or is there something else in that
edifice you call a church, mosque or synagog that you are really paying for?

Yes, but without the money they wouldn’t feel they had the power to tell people how to live there lives, whom to love, and how to twist words to suit there cause in the name of God. It apparently takes a great deal of money to be able to say we are all God’s children and at the same time with a straight face tell those same children of God they may be granted the privilege of walking the earth on the terms they have decided is correct and proper. And even more of that money has to go to cover the expense of being able to do what they say only God can do; stand in judgement of anyone and everyone who they feel are sinners and are decidedly beneath them socially. The spare change is divided equally to cover hand lotion to sooth the roughness they all have from patting themselves on the back.
