    Religions promise anything and everything but don’t actually provide anything in return for time or money invested. It’s the very definition of a scam.

    It’s no different than supplement scams or homeopathic pills.

      I wouldn’t say anything. You could provide a sense of belonging, guidance etc but many cults also do that.

      Now, many also promise eternal salvation and the like and that is 100% a scam. Literally the same as snake oil.
