Alright...major bitchfest rant forthcoming, lol. :)
Churches and religion should be about helping the poor, charity, forgiveness, empathy, benevolence, helping others, being in service to humankind, altruism, lending aid to the sick, acts of compassion and details of that nature...at least according to the person known as Jesus, who reputedly said as much, in the Sermon on the Mount.
So, why is it that pretty much all we hear about these days, organized religion wise, is graft, bribery, theft, greed, sex abuse, sex scandals and sex affairs. And as usual, of course, those same people chastising other people about...sex, unmarried sex, oral sex, anal sex, kinky sex, "buttsecs", FemDom sex, porn sex, stripper sex, gay sex, trans sex, lesbian sex, fetish sex, non-missionary position sex, unmoral sex, immoral sex, far-too-frequent-sex, recreational sex, fun sex, doggystyle sex, tribadism sex, group sex, cuckold sex, masturbation sex, dildo sex and very sexy sexual sexualzed sex?
Those people have no moral authority on the issue. They have zero credibility on the topi, and, it's none of their fucking business. Plus the greed aspect and separation of Church and State factors...which they ignore. And the 1st Amendment...which they pretend doesn't exist, but most love to jump right to the 2nd Amendment...which they love. Fuck 'em.
Tax the MotherFucking Churches, heavily, retroactively for say...about the last 5 decades or so, and enforce the laws that are in the US Constitution that demarcates where they can, and can not, have influence on laws and public policy. And lastly, anyone abusing parishioners, men, women and especially children, and anyone covering for them, and I mean anyone, arrest them, prosecute them, and incarcerate them to the fullest extend of the law. Again...Fuck 'em.
Side note, I personally know many, many, many very good people, straight up honest people with ethics and integrity, that are religious and are fantastic people. I am not slamming religion as a whole, nor religious people. I am talking about the business of religion, the profit aspect, those that are more concerned with protecting the bank accounts and the reputation of the organization...instead of the people they do harm to. Most average religious people are just fine, or at least tolerable, but the hierarchy and the business portion, once again...Fuck 'em. :)

Speculation is conservative anti-porn organizations like the National Center on Sexual Exploitation (formerly Morality In Media) and Exodus Cry have been putting political pressure on companies to cut off financial resources for adult performers.
A group of NY clergy took more than $1 million from a real estate developer who sought to turn distressed Black churches into lucrative properties, according to settlements with the state’s attorney general. Settlements show a bishop, two pastors and a pastor’s wife sought to conceal kickbacks from congregations that owned the buildings, as well as from state officials.
A Utah lawmaker and attorney for the Mormon Church advised a bishop not to report a confession of sex abuse to authorities, a decision that allowed the abuse to continue for years.
The issue is the release by the SBC of a 205-page document naming hundreds of Baptist leaders and members accused or found guilty of sexual abuse of children. The list included 700 entries on cases between 2000 and 2019, stating convention’s leaders failed the public and its community by mishandling sexual abuse cases and mistreating victims and survivors.
