      So, in USA at least, all of the taxpayers are financing one of the world’s richest organizations (tax free, no property taxes and many more benefits that no “non-profit” shares).

      Yet, they still must pass that collection plate with every service to fleece their sheep just a tiny bit more. Their treasure horde is never enough.

        FWIW,

        wp:The Satanic Temple

        (my bold)

        On April 25, 2019, the Temple announced it had received tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service, being classified as a “church or a convention or association of churches”.[40] The Satanic Temple had previously been reluctant to pursue tax-exempt status until the Johnson Amendment was weakened by an executive order “Promoting Free Speech and Religious Liberty” signed by President Trump in May 2017, which TST viewed as unfairly giving higher status to religious individuals.[41]
