    What was the smallest religion, they mentioned, badboy? Probably had more than the WTS; sounds like they didn't make the cut.

    Robert Llewellyn sets out on a journey to discover which of the world's major religions is the richest. With 170 faiths practised in England and Wales, Robert asks the public to help him compile a shortlist.

    This one off, hour long show explores four of the largest religions; The Church of England, Roman Catholicism, Judaisim and Islam in an attempt to find who has the lion's share of God's Millions.

    Robert's journey is a five first, a religious comedy caper, producing the world's first ever attempt to compare the global wealth of four monotheistic religions. Who's Got God's Millions? Robert believes he knows, and as an atheist he draws some controversial conclusions.

    Adding to what Blondie found...

    Robert’s first stop is Canterbury Cathedral, where he is surprised to learn that financial figures for the Church of England are readily available. Robert then travels to Westminster Cathedral to learn about the Catholic Church’s status in England. Part of the Catholic Church’s income in the UK goes to fund the Vatican, so Rome is Robert’s next destination. It soon becomes apparent that Vatican City is a financial black hole, and no one wants to admit how much money the Pope actually has.

    Next Robert travels to Jerusalem to scour the finances of Judaism, only to find the Israeli government cannot even put a figure on the number of synagogues in the country. “There’s one God – that’s the only figure I can think of,” says Ariel Catane of the National Authority of Religious Services.

    Finally, Robert heads to the East London Mosque to get a handle on the wealth of Islam. Despite the plethora of statistics available, he finds that no one has ever conducted an audit of the UK’s 1,600 mosques. And his efforts to obtain the global income for Islam founder when none of the embassies of the world’s biggest Muslim countries agree to meet him. Undeterred, Robert eventually comes up with a total figure – but which of the top religions is the richest?

    MKR:

    I agree with you. Why do so many people on here think that the WTS is rich. Where would they get any money? It's a dinky cult with a bunch of people with dinky jobs.
