Most churches are corrupt to the core. You're absolutely right, they are all about control and getting your donations, while remaining silent on social and political issues so they can maintain IRS 501c3 tax exempt status. The corruption and collusion with government goes further than that even.

Modern feminism likewise is a false paradigm. Has nothing to do with equality and everything to do with hating men and being mad at daddy. Demand respect but don't fight biology.
