It is obvious, just like the very significant causal relationship between science and capitalism. Religion as a whole is a big money maker, and when you have atm's in churches as well as "name it and claim it" sermons popping off every sunday, it's clearly obvious. However, I think more people should do what Jesus did and that's go in the church and beat the shit out of the people in there selling tapes, dvd's, prayer clothes, holy water, miracle manna and all that other bullshit. But if you aren't gonna do that, you need to take as much money from the collection plate as possible and go for the nearest exit.
Real chop.
