The preacher needs a million-dollar estate because God don't deal through no broke ass motherfuckers.
But sure, let's give money to churches so they can fix problems their religions are, in large part, responsible for creating in the first place. They can feed the poor, starving Africans living in the awful, war-torn aftermath of the White Man's Burden, starving children which keep being born because contraception is an affront to God.
Places of worship should exist for two reasons: to give comfort for people who need their superstitions, and to be bled almost dry for taxes to support scientific programs, down to just enough to keep them operational. It'd be the first time, ever, that religion would be directly benefiting mankind.
