I seriously mean no offense when I say this, however it doesn't sound like you're an actual Bible-believing, Jesus-is-my-savior Christian, but part of a religious social club. I suppose I assumed you believed this way, and it's pretty common in the US, just an observation fwiw.
To clarify, I meant those mega churches, the ones with flash and bling aplenty. Their priority is to amass power, not to do religion. To be fair, it's the same with all other religions too, for example, there are lots of amassing power goes on with buddhist temples in Thailand and elsewhere.
I hear ya. I don't think it's so cut and dry, especially lumping everyone together. There's nothing un-Godly about large groups itself, but I agree money, fame and influence are fraught with temptation for evil for those leaders. Yet they are very powerful in the right hands, and with power comes opposition and slander.
