Most religions are businesses hiding behind their "non-profit" status as a church or religion. Remember, a non-profit can make a lot of money, it just can't carry those profits to the next fiscal year. Look at how rich a lot of the religions and their leaders are. They're not hurting for their next meal or providing for their families. They live in nice homes and drive nice cars and most of their followers don't know what else they do. Just because a business is non-profit, doesn't mean they can't pay themselves millions of dollars a year, have very generous benefit packages and generous retirement packages.
