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

Actually, my first thought was the opposite: Kosher and Halal is big business. As pointed out by others, products associated with religions that are not exclusively religious- food products, hospitals, schools- is actually a pretty big portion of this.

I love BB most of the time but posts like this are pretty lazy. It’s meant to scare up “see how rich church’s are!” reaction but the methodology and conclusion here isn’t that at all. It just shows that religion-related businesses are a significant part of the economy.
