13. It could go like this.

Walmart (or any 1%er who would like to capture all that money) could do the following:

1. Take over the news cycle and start disparaging everything that churches are doing. Say they are ineffective, that the preachers are doing a poor job of fulfilling the mission of religion.

2. Open charter churches that are run by highly paid administrators and unpaid volunteers.

3. Nationalize the church standards so everyone gets the same message.

4. Require some tax for local churches that eventually forces them to close.

5. Extract money from the congregation by making tithing a law.

Done. All the church money is safely in the hands of the owners.
