Like McDonald's, Burger King, Jack in the Box, Wendy's and Carl's Jr., are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam different franchises of a profitable business? In the case of the former, the business is selling burgers. In the case of the later, is the business selling influence? Do these religions enable ideological authorities in leadership positions sell their influence over communities of faithful believers to a mercenary plutocratic predatory few that prey upon the many of our global culture? Is selling influence for profit what these religions have in common? If you agree, then what do you propose should be done about this, if anything? Is it harmless or are communities of faithful believers lead by influence peddlers helping to lead the global culture as a whole to run a race to Armageddon orchestrated by a mercenary plutocratic predatory few that seek to generate greater profits from the sale and manufacture of the products and services of a beast of a military industrial complex?

"Do these religions enable ideological authorities in leadership positions sell their influence over communities of faithful believers to a mercenary plutocratic predatory few that prey upon the many of our global culture?"
I don't see any evidence of that.
"If you agree, then what do you propose should be done about this, if anything?"
Anyone who agrees must logically also support the repeal of the First Amendment. And yet, if the First Amendment were repealed, how long would skeptics be able to voice their opinions freely? Quite a little conundrum, eh?

Ever seen jokers such as Benny Hill, or Pat Rob on the tv - "god loves you; give me your money"? Ever seen collection trays or tithes at churches? Ever heard of zakat in Islamic cultures? Its all a big business; the more sheep there are to sustain this beast, the better. Has anybody ever audited the Vatican? Why is the Haj required for all muslims (pilgrimage to Mecca)? Because each visitor spends at least $500-$1000 there - good for the local economy! The only salvation is to burn that bible, koran, and torah...

I dont think Judaism is a fair comparison to this due to the fact it is the only one of the three religions you mentioned that dose not go out and try to actively convert people.
but hey you are entitled to you own opinion
