Whichever way you look at it, it turns out to be a kartel, organized crime! Protecting their turf. Corrupting free competition.
In the best corporate tradition, to be sure!

RE: How do I classify my house as a church as to avoid paying property taxes?
Here let me help you establish a distinct religion that would work well with your home church:
A distinct legal existence. Can't help you here
A recognized creed and form of worship. Try a flavor of the prosperity doctrine you don't need an education or experience to be a preacher.
A definite and distinct ecclesiastical government. strict dictatorship is the way to go.
A formal code of doctrine and discipline. S&M perhaps?
A distinct religious history. This depends on how good you are at the above mentioned thing.
A membership not associated with any other church or denomination. Who the hell would have you anyway.
An organization of ordained ministers. The species of these ordained ministers is not specified. Ordain your dogs.
Ordained ministers selected after completing prescribed studies. When your dogs are housebroken, consider them ordained.
A literature of its own. Use the phonebook, at least you can put it to good use.
Established places of worship. Your home of course.
Regular congregations. Again species is not mentioned, consider the roaches congregates.
Regular worship services. Get in the habit of singing in the shower.
Schools for the religious instruction of the young. Have children, raise them.
Schools for the preparation of ministers. This is pretty easy, if you don't need an education to be a minister neither does anyone else.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
