They had 644 employees last year. Even if you divided the seemingly large 'salaries and benefits' category of $107 million by this, each person would make $166k, which isn't a gross salary, I'd say? And 644 employees seems really efficient for an org at this size; I'm honestly shocked by this.
!["Why does [religious] favoritism encourage religious violence? Essentially, religious favoritism makes religious divisions more intense. In these settings, political and religious leaders often work together to stifle dissenting beliefs, coerce religious conformity, and weaken the forces of moderation. When the government supports a particular religious tradition while repressing minority groups, it can radicalize people within the majority group who see this favoritism as a green light for their own extreme views. Paradoxically, it is often politically empowered religious groups, not marginalized ones, that justify attacking out-groups, even as they attempt to portray themselves as victims of minority encroachment."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gedbnvochgljcdncv4x672ta/bafkreifvs6dloysbskr4k4weuh2gvw3fvy4dmfhwktwnlwcwsd6dba5u74)
