Pay your taxes gladly. Taxes are used for God's work. We aren't just challenging powerful governments, but religious concepts too. India still has castes, and cows are sacred while millions starve. Utah has The Mormons.
Cities are crowded weekdays, recreation areas jammed on weekends.
You would be surprised where you find church influence. American judicial robes are symbols of authority from The Church of England. An interesting picture is the US President being sworn in with one hand on a Bible, by an old guy in a robe. Another in a robe consecrates the whole ceremony, beginning and end. Follow the money AND follow the robes.
