How is religion different from any other consumer product on the market?

[TONI101]

True religions is not like that. Jesus said his true followers should not charge for any of their services. i.e. preaching, teaching, helping others, etc.
These twelve Jesus sent forth, giving them these orders: As YOU go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.’ YOU received free, give free. (Matthew 10:5, 7-8)

Revelation tells us that the merchants of the world got rich off of false religion.
(Revelation 18:3) For because of the wine of the anger of her fornication all the nations have fallen victim, and the kings of the earth committed fornication with her, and the traveling merchants of the earth became rich due to the power of her shameless luxury.”

False religion will soon be destroyed, and the merchants will mourn.
Revelation 18:11-15) “Also, the traveling merchants of the earth are weeping and mourning over her, because there is no one to buy their full stock anymore, a full stock of gold and silver and precious stone and pearls and fine linen and purple and silk and scarlet; and everything in scented wood and every sort of ivory object and every sort of object out of most precious wood and of copper and of iron and of marble; also cinnamon and Indian spice and incense and perfumed oil and frankincense and wine and olive oil and fine flour and wheat and cattle and sheep, and horses and coaches and slaves and human souls. Yes, the fine fruit that your soul desired has departed from you, and all the dainty things and the gorgeous things have perished from you, and never again will people find them. “The traveling merchants of these things, who became rich from her, will stand at a distance because of their fear of her torment and will weep and mourn.

There is a warning to those who hate what is going on in false religion.
(Revelation 18:4-5) And I heard another voice out of heaven say: “Get out of her, my people, if YOU do not want to share with her in her sins, and if YOU do not want to receive part of her plagues. For her sins have massed together clear up to heaven, and God has called her acts of injustice to mind.

True Christians have heeded this warning. They have no part in the organizations of the world's religions.
