"Every year churches collect some $100 billion in donations. But most
donors do not know that the average congregation in the U.S. gives only two percent of donated money to humanitarian projects. Some 98% goes to pay staff, upkeep of buildings, the priest’s car, robes, salary and housing."
One
of several links I could post showing the truth about churches and
charity. Also, if one defends the salaries, etc. of the clergy, please
tell me why paying for staff to provide placebo is ethical, especially when they are not only tax-exempt but their books are secret?
With very few exceptions, the financial statements of churches and religious ministries are not available to the public.
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
