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."
