Preferred term

religious fraud  

Definition(s)

  • FROM JOSEPH SMITH, who founded Mormonism after a revelation that still brings charges of a hoax to L. Ron Hubbard and the lawsuit-prone Scientologists, religion and fraud have been inextricably mixed, either as fact or in the perception of non-believers and skeptics. As religion has become more lucrative and media coverage has expanded, the frauds have as well. [Source: Encyclopedia of White-Collar & Corporate Crime; Religious Fraud]
