When you think about some of the big industries that have a major impact on the economy, you might think of things like banking, manufacturing or the technology sector. But your mind probably doesn’t go right to religion.
However, a recent study found that religious goods, services and institutions are actually worth around $1.2 trillion a year. And that doesn’t even include things like holiday dinner items or the value of religiously owned physical or financial assets. So it’s actually a fairly conservative estimate.
That means that the U.S. faith economy is worth more than the annual earnings of Apple and Microsoft combined.
