For example, there was a notorious affair involving him and Canadian PM Trudeau where Khan was secretly giving him gifts on his private island while Canada gave Khan $50 million.

So, religious people are incapable of good deeds. Got it.
That’s a Trudeau thing, not an Aga Khan thing.

He's more than religious, he's a deity; and, as any deity, he has imposed taxes on his gullible followers who give him 12.5% of their paycheck every month, a portion of which he uses for the good deeds.
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"

Something the rest of us get from that tax is apparently a complete lack of terrorism from the Ismailis, who would only go forward with such acts if the Aga Khan approved.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
