Reply to comment by bamaxfer in Brooklyn pastor who was robbed while preaching charged with wire fraud and lying to FBI in unrelated case by Octavus
While both of these comments are true, I think I need to clarify my question. I meant megachurches as in one congregation following one leeching pastor who syphons his congregation's money into his coffers so that he can live an extravagant lifestyle. I know there are theological based governments built on this foundation but their citizens are usually forced to give up their money/resources to these governments. US megachurch pastors are voluntarily given money from their parishioners. That's the difference I am asking about. If there are other countries with megachurches like this.

This comment made me realize, is the US really the only country where megachurches are a thing?

In addition to what others have said, sometimes people also would like to ask a reliable source with experience rather than strangers on the internet where you have no idea what their experience or background on the matter is
