Jesus said,
"Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's: and unto God the things that are God's." (Matthew 22: 21)
If people stopped supporting religions, with their time and with their money, religions would crumble, collapse, and disappear from the face of the earth; but when people, being deceived, do not know the difference between Caesar and God, they will continue to pay tribute to Caesar even though they can be led to believe they are giving their money for the work of God.
Caesar was the head of the Roman government as well as the head of the Roman religion and he was worshipped as a god.
The religions of man operate by this same method, for religions are dictatorships, just like Caesar's world, and they need people and money to continue to exist.
Apart from God, there is no evil that man will not pursue; and man's greatest pursuit of evil is found in man's invention of religion: for this is the place where man enslaves people, to hold them prisoners, to keep them from knowing God.
Moreover, it is in this place of religion where people give their money: in the belief that they are pleasing their god and gods as well as pleasing their spiritual gurus---ministers, pastors, preachers, priests, popes, and rabbis: which, again, is the evidence that people, apart from God, do not know the difference between Caesar and God---mixed with the false belief that, by giving their money, they will receive something in return for their financial investment, such as gaining favors as well as buying their way to heaven.
Because people, however, keep giving their money, religions continue to grow and prosper and gain in memberships, which explains why religions are the wealthiest institutions on the face of the earth, and which also enables their Caesars to live in luxurious splendor---while snubbing their noses at the poverty of people living within the shadows of their temples, shrines, and cathedrals.
"There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: , and there was a certain beggar, named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, and desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
"And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; and in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments...." (Luke 16: 19-22)
