The Rich Control Christianity

In this episode, Jay Forrest exposes how wealth and power have hijacked Christianity—from Constantine’s imperial sponsorship to modern megadonors shaping U.S. politics. Tracing the faith’s transformation from a movement of the poor to a corporate-backed empire, Dr. Forrest shows how elites use religion to divide believers and preserve control. Drawing evidence from history and dark-money networks, he argues that the church of love has been turned into a weapon of manipulation—because when faith serves the rich, unity dies and domination thrives.
