How the LDS Church Profits From War, Human Suffering, and Death
Did you know the LDS Church’s secretive investment arm — Ensign Peak Advisors — has invested billions in defense contractors, weapons manufacturers, and companies that profit directly from war?
In this episode, Dives breaks down insights from The Religion Business documentary and uncovers how a tax-exempt religious organization ends up holding stocks in companies that manufacture missiles, fighter jets, and military technologies used in conflicts around the world.
📌 What we cover:
– How Ensign Peak invests tithing money into defense stocks
– The church’s holdings in companies like Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, and General Dynamics
– Why the LDS Church claims it’s “passive investing” — and why that explanation fails
– Whether religious organizations should profit from war and suffering
– The ethics of a church making money on global conflict
– How these investments contradict the church’s public image of peace, charity, and humanitarianism
This is a deep investigative look into how the Mormon Church’s $100+ billion fund quietly grows richer every time a war breaks out.
