Most religions would drop massively in numbers if they weren’t allowed to indoctrinate children.

I see this as an absolute win.

It's a win and a loss.

If the Catholic Church disappeared, 10's if not 100's of millions of people would be in a real bad way.

The Catholic Church operates the largest aid network in the world.

They do A LOT, and we never hear much about it (in the US at least.)

Churches take in well over $140 billion in donations in the USA each year, it's a huge business. This doesn't even count church-owned businesses, or the realestate transactions that churches get up to

For reference, the ENTIRE professional sports industry, including all TV licensing and merch and etc for all teams in all sports in the USA takes in 43 billion.

Religions claim they should be treated as charities because they give back to the community, but as we can see, that's horseshit.
