For millions of churchgoers, where their donations actually go may come as a surprise.
Millions of Americans donate to churches and religious nonprofits every week, believing their money is advancing faith, charity, and good works. But some religious organizations have accumulated fortunes that rival major corporations, while hiding behind some of the strongest legal and financial protections in American law.
Filmmaker Nathan Apffel traveled across the country to investigate churches, ministries, and religious nonprofits, tracing the flow of donor dollars. His investigation led to the discovery of hidden assets, complex financial structures, and even an arrest.
Featuring interviews with insiders, financial experts, whistleblowers, and former members, The Religion Business examines the money, power, and lack of transparency that can exist behind religious organizations claiming nonprofit status.
This isn’t an attack on faith. It’s an investigation into what happens when enormous wealth, limited oversight, and religious authority intersect.
