Yes, but with a bank, I know that their purpose is to make money, and they are not hypocrites about it. Churches, however, are wolves in sheep's clothing. Some bankers may molest children, but not under the guise of their official duties.
for the maintenace of the building, eletric bill, water bill, etc. Many
activities cost money. But if you do not want to donate any money
you don't have to. Most churches nowdays do not have enough
volunteers to take care of a nursery, music, and administrative needs.
They may want to have a bulletin prepared to send to members to
inform them of the scheduled activities of the church. If they have
a full-time minister, music director, church secretary, etc. they will
need to collect enough donations to pay them a salary. They may
also want to provide help to the needy in the community, etc. So
it is not likely to be much of a church without money to support it.
