What?! Religion is a scam!
Too bad that this won't have any influence on anyone.
Atheists already know it, and believers will just delude themselves with tropes like: "This is not my religion. My religion is not a money scam," and then send some money to David Miscavige or the Pope or Dalai Lama or Church of LDS, etc.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
