Nobody at my parish is getting rich. There is no slush fund.
The number of religious groups lobbying in Washington D.C. has grown five times larger from 1970 to today, according to a Pew report released Monday.
The number of lobbyists grew from only 40 religious advocacy groups in 1970 to nearly 200 today. The growth has accounted for 1,000 jobs in the Washington D.C. area.
The study found that just under $400 million is spent annually by the lobbyists to influence lawmakers on more than 300 issues, according to the study.
The report found that most religious advocacy is done by Christian groups.

None of them are making any money, but somehow they come up with $400 million to influence law makers.
