Why do religions not have share holders?

Considering that religions are nothing else but theological corporation with massive profits why is it they have not acquired share holders or been placed on the Forbes list of the World's 500 largest corporations? It would only seem logical for me since these divine conglomerates are rich enough to buy out Google that they should be handled more carefully. Why is it that Catholicism of all companies is not mandated to provide a form for it's fiscal year? Islam of all religions has gotten away with 'murder' and has never released its total economic assets since 622 AD.
How can we let divine companies run a muck? Why do they not open their doors and permit share buying?

Running "a muck" is a pretty good description of many religions.
If religious organizations had to make their finances public it would certainly make for some interesting reading, if only to see how wealthy they are or aren't. Aside from curiosity I would be fairly apathetic; they're not selling anything that we require, and it's up to you to decide to buy the product or not.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould
