It has little or nothing to do with faith for most of this ilk, and church itself is more of a social club than a place of worship, like meeting friends at the country club pool on weekends.

The notion of forgiveness is a big perk, too, as it allows scumbags to do scumbag things and then declare that it's all good based on their interpretation of what some invisible man in the sky told them. AND they get to shit all over people they don't like, bc the book said so in that one part. AND if you can somehow cut yourself into one of these rackets, then maybe you can avoid paying taxes, too. "Faith" is an outright fuckin bonanza for today's upwardly-mobile American ghoul.
