Good
Now the religious companies that remain are all merging together or being bought out by larger religious companies. They change their names to some douchey name that sounds like a shitty christian rock band and franchise. Somehow they're still allowed to be non-profits despite being so much for-profit.

Next up: Republicans trying to make church attendance mandatory.
They're already turning schools into churches, so they're probably not too upset over this.

Safer for the kids
And some are forced to sell off the massive amount of prime real estate they were totally going to build churches on and not pay any taxes on the profits....
Kids can sleep easy tonight. The cult is dying.
The church is nothing but a tool of opposition. Glad to see it have less influence.
