US religion is worth $1.2T/year, more than America's 10 biggest tech companies, combined

I’m frequently told that I’m misinterpreting their holy book when I point out to conservative Christians that the New Testament seems to indicate in several places that they shouldn’t be so politically active or invested in the material world. Apparently Jeebus was just joking about that “store up your treasures in heaven” thing, but not about any of the verses they take seriously. The lack of self-awareness and hypocrisy regarding their own touted beliefs is as bad as the people who think you should be shot for using your Constitutional freedom of speech to not say the Pledge of Allegiance or stand during the national anthem.
