i beg to disagree.
first, there are the jews. efficient money making instruments. One of the reasons for the anti-jewish sentiments before the war.
second, all religion has one. but if we are talking about the most brilliant of hypocrites, again there are lot in the jewish religion. Savvy, these guys are, they are afterall the envy of the aryan race, among others
third, again not so. Alot of Buddhist sects does this, one of this resulted as a current political issue which plagues the parliament of Bhutan.
fourth, there is the Anglican communion. the queen being head of the church has a significant influence on all commonwealth nations and its Anglican-communion.
but even though the catholic church is not really that overrated as it is, i still am proud to be a catholic.
