The January 2011 issue of the
International Bulletin of
Missionary Research reported that Christian religious leaders will commit an estimated $34 billion in financial fraud in 2011.
Note: Statutory Fraud is a crime primarily known as embezzlement.
False teaching in the major religions is not a crime, but from a biblical perspective it is still fraud (spiritually defrauding your brother) and accounts for incalculable billions of dollars.
