Should Governments regulate fraudulent religions?

…along with fraudulent charities. Sure… some of the money gets to the intended people, but millions are siphoned off as bonuses to those running these charities. How compassionate they really are!

I hear you and hate that you and I have to pay the tax shortfall created by thieves who know how to play the system.

The crooks ain’t just confined to religions. Here are a few more crooks:

If religions did not do that, I would likely ignore them.

I hope I have made it clear that I am perfectly happy for people to have these toys and to play with them at home and hug them and share with other people who come around to play with the toys, so that’s absolutely fine; they are not to make ME play with these toys. I will not play with the toys. Don’t bring the toys to my house. Don’t say my children must play with these toys.

I made a lot of decisions in life on the basis of religious indoctrination from a child, but I console myself with suspecting that if not for that, I’d find something else to complain about But I honestly believe that had I not been indoctrinated, my life would now be better from a worldly perspective. I was too… idealistic in thinking that whatever happened was God’s plan. Whoever was in my life was God’s doing and whatever happened was God’s will. I was not as critical as I should have been and from a certain point of view I can see religious indoctrination as a form of child abuse, though not with bad intent; just ignorance. On the other hand, my extrapolation may be in error and perhaps I’m better off now than my idealized speculations of alternative upbringings. Anyway, I shouldn’t cry over spilled milk.

Indeed. Let the dead bury the dead.

Thanks for both replies.

For sure, and it is our extra tax contribution that allows that open fraud to continue.

Shame on us.
