Your explanation lacks credibility.
But I guess you already know that.
My explanation is fully credible having been a life long parishoner.
Every Christian church , including Evangelical churches I have been in the last ten years spends a lot of time doing $ collections or “love offerings” during their service , one Church had a 15 minute sermon on how it wasn’t our money anyway but given by God should be shared to God (the minister) and then did their collection
and every Christian church in America is in serious decline as measured by attendance-many who do attend just do so when they feel like it, Christmas .Same for beleifs, abortion wrong-naw , had one show me scripture that they thought allowed it.
Meanwhile the Dems grow its “religion” of lefty ideas
