Religion - the perfect scam?

Religion - the perfect scam?
It's so good:

1) You just have to read your followers a book each week, and then they "donate" loads of money to you (tax free of course). Don't directly ask for the money, just heavily imply donating it is a good idea.

2) You don't even need to buy a different book each week, you can use the same one - great cost saving.

3) Your followers will raise their own children so that in the future they also donate money to you. If they try and escape then they will be vilified and emotionally guilt tripped into staying.

4) Not only that, but they'll also go around trying to get you more followers for free!

So don't bother starting a pyramid scheme and risk being sent to jail. Take advantage of religious people instead, because it's easy.


On a slightly less tongue-in-cheek not, donations to US churches are very approx $100 billion a year. Think what good could be done with this money (yes, I realise some of this is spent by churches on charitable causes). I am also aware that Church attendances are falling, so it isn't actually quite as easy as that to make money out of Christians.
