All religions prey on the poor.

They entice them to join by providing "community," and then they brainwash them.

It's sick.

Why not offer to help - w/o bringing in a god and some doctrine?  But the goal is to increase numbers, and they'll do it in any way possible.  Catholic church is one of the largest religions, by the way.  Christians (the global term) make up about 1/3 of all religions.  [/quote]

I'm so tired of bad logic and sweeping generalizations that are wrong when you examine them (I'm Episcopalian, BTW).

You admit yourself that religions offer something to the poor, community. They also offer a fellowship for faith, which you discount completely. Neither of these are quantifiable, i.e. you can't put a $$$ figure on them, and you use this to say they are basically "worthless." That's bad logic.

Plus, most religions, especially the Catholic Church, do ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF GOOD for the poor. You simply can't deny this (although you try to ignore it, but that amounts to a lie by ommission).[/quote]
