At least in the US there is no distinction. All organized religions need some sort of legal structure if they want to own property, collect money, deposit it in a bank etc. As far as I know they are almost all organzied as non-profit corporations.

I think this is a valid job for the CID of the IRS to tackle. Not only we have a tax evasion case, but if they can be proven a for-profit company, their other cases would start going down the toilet as well. They would be audited additionally for labor violations too numerous to count (including lying to get people to join Beth Hell). They would also get in trouble for suckering people into going out in field circus when they didn't feel well or needed to do other things "to get their time in".
