Religion-supporting Organization

Religious activities generally need some infrastructure to be conducted. For this reason, there generally exist religion-supporting organizations, which are some form of organization that manage:

• the upkeep of places of worship, e.g. mosques, prayer rooms, other similar edifices or meeting places.
• the payment of salaries to priests, ministers or religious leaders.

In addition, such organizations usually have other responsibilities, such as: the formation, nomination or appointment of religious leaders, the establishment of a corpus of doctrine, the disciplining of priests or other people with respect to religious law, the determination of qualification for membership, etc.
