This study Wojtek uses was from 1999.  Much could have changed by 
then especially since these new churches are cropping up all over, 
right?

 From the LA Times:
"This budget signals a substantial increase in the redistribution of 
federal dollars to faith-based organizations dealing with topics like 
marriage and abstinence and away from secular organizations," said 
Paul C. Light, professor of public service at New York University.
Light sees the Bush budget as part of a slow but steady trend to fund 
conservative churches and organizations that have a clear social 
agenda, often at the expense of secular nonprofit organizations and 
traditional federal aid programs."
