Corporate Money is Available to the Right Religious Message

I have always made an assumption here that churches conform to those in the pews because they are the ones providing the money. It turns out this is only partially true. Large corporations with CEO's who have a religious message pump large amounts in exchange for the church promoting the right message. This is true for churches but also for websites and magazines. 

I read somewhere a wealthy corporate executive put up the money for a Catholic ad campaign about "coming home" to the Catholic Church. According to the link, which is based on a book, the efforts in influence messages are both from the "orthodox" side and from the liberal side. Tolerance of LGBTQ+ has also been promoted by corporations and wealthy people. The magazine, Christianity Today, has received funds in exchange for a less right-wing content. All of this is monetization of the Christian message. The only justice is that both the left and the right monetize what is called, "The truth that never changes." If it never changed no one would spend such money. 

The very wealthy founder of the mutual fund company, Vanguard, funded a foundation which gave money to various groups studying religion and publishing. His name was John C. Bogel. He was deep into some kinds but not into what we call right wing political branches. I get some of my reference articles from a site called, Religious News Service. It is funded by some foundation that wanted a broad number of religions and their various perspectives presented. Even deep evangelical fundamentalism is split among many factions and each has a source of money to pay for publishing its views. I suppose much of the same thing went on went books instead of screens were where people read about religion. 

That theology is influenced by corporate dollars is another reason to remain a skeptic.
