Evangelists are not all bad. I use to think of that word as bad but it's not. It's spreading the word of God to others. My church is not rich by any means. If we have an activity we have to pay because the church can't afford to pay. We barely have enough money for our missionaries. Some churches are richer than others because they have more members. More member means more people to pay Tithe. Paying Tithe is in the Bible. It's not a way to make money or a marketing tool it is money to help maintain your church and send missionaries out and help expand your church. It's not so the Pastor can have a Porche in his driveway.

because America is the only country that will protect the rights of religious beliefs and pretty much any type of business.
if you tried to set up this kind of scam elsewhere, you will be shot. other countries have little tolerance for these kind of charades.
the TV evangelists have been looting old ladies and widows for ages.

In todays world it is. It used to be a tool to convince people that Pagans were evil, and women with knowledge where evil and obviously practiced Witchcraft and got their knowledge from Satan.

It was always this way with religion. If you go back to ancient egypt the temples were always the wealthiest part of society.
The Roman Catholic church has immense wealth. Did you ever see a hungry pope.

These men and women who have hidden agendas will reap what they sow. For an example look a Jim Bakker and Jerry Farewell.

Many have used God as away to take advantage of honest God fearing people.
