I was going to answer this, but losing ten points just doesn't seem worth it. I'll say this, I believe you to be 100% correct and churches are out to make money and not to spread the word of god.

Preachers do, indeed, have faith in God. Otherwise, what's the point of being a preacher. God uses people to answer prayers at times tho. I know a missionary building an orphanage in Mexico, and needed $150,000 for a certain part of the project. He prayed about it, and 10 days later, he recieved a check for it from a business owner he'd never met before. He said something told him to send the money to him.. That he'd know what it was for. How do you explain something like that besides it being God? This has happened to him time and time again.

Don't let yourself get into the trap of proving or disproving other people's beliefs. Religions are man made supported by text that was man made thus it has nothing to do with their god. Faith in all religions however is that step that takes us from theory to practice. An example, a chair. You see it, and you believe in theory that it will hold you when you sit down. You don't know for sure, but you believe it will. You have faith in the theory that the chair will hold you. You state to everyone that it will. Then you sit down and it does. The sitting down point is your human death and at that point is when you find out for sure if you were right or not. Faith makes that leap from theory which you cannot prove right now to what you believe in and will find out someday.

The Bible is still full of writing about false teacher and non believer, that are teaching the word of God. I am sorry to say but teaching others about their version of God, has become a very profitable business. Also the Bible tells you to beware of these people so why do you allow these false teachers to continue to have so much control in your life, and to drive you away from the one and only true God.

Religions often attract sociopaths because religious people are easy targets. Priest who abuse children know that the church cares more about it's image than its congregation and will deny or cover up any abuse allegations. Others preach for ego and money... just look at all the mega churches.
