The worse thing that could have been done is to mix church and state. The churches are poping up everywhere and felons are getting pastor lisences from the internet. The churches are becoming a business in the communities. A lot of times instead of putting the monies into the communitties the churches are focusing on who has the best looking clergy, the best paid clergy and the best looking church.
