Afterlife? What about this one?

Most Sundays I get in my truck and drive over to a friends house for some good ol’ geek fun.  It is about a 6 mile drive and along the way, I pass by no less than 10 churches.  Most of these churches are huge, multimillion dollar businesses.  Inside these buildings are thousands of people listening to lies and preparing for their afterlife.  That is what religion is all about after all, not this life but the better one that will come after this one.  I always think to myself… how much better would this country world be if, rather than obsessing over their mortality for an hour or more every Sunday, they started working on solutions to problems like this?  I swear, I can hardly stand the thought of 3, 9, 15 & 16 years old children having to live in conditions like that.
