Oh but you have to pay to attend this kind of show and it’s super expensive, like easily 200$. It is a matter of preference for them, not affordability.

I feel like half of American churches could be wiped out if people just had some other live entertainment they could afford on the weekends.

Where I live, there are tiny churches EVERYWHERE. There’s a street next to Walmart that has 13 churches in residential houses along that single street.
Churches take money in, and provide literally nothing of substance in return. They are nothing more than tax evasion/ money-laundering operations, and at least 90% of them should be closed down. ALL of them should be taxed heavily.

If you learn about what went on during the Great Awakening, you can see that there was a lot of competition between different churches and no government regulation. For the entrepreneuial pastor, they could slightly change the gospel and church services to target a congregation of their choosing.
