There is a reason the early apostolic churches never had special buildings dedicated to worship meetings. And it wasn't because of "persecution".

And their congregations were too big also

You don't believe any church that is a non profit is a real church?

Why, because they have an allegiance to the US Government?

The nonprofit is not the church. They are two different entities. So, at most "churches" there are two things going on: the church, and the non profit. Unfortunately, people often get the two confused.
