How much money do you donate to your church on an annual basis?
We used to be Catholic, and then became Episcopalian. Both churches asked for about 10% of our income. We gave very little to the Catholic Church; only cash donations in the collection basket, probably no more than $100 a year. At our Episcopal church, we donate about $1200 a year. |

| Zero. I’ve lost all faith in any religious organization to honesty handle money. |

$20/week in the collection plate, plus the individual giving opportunities (fundraisers, Easter flowers, Christmas greenery, etc).
It’s nowhere near 10 percent of my income, but it’s what I can afford right now. |

| Tithing is ridiculous -- it basically operates like a flat tax, so falls more heavily on those with lower incomes. |

That's why it's tithes and offerings - you can always give more! There are even some well-to-do folks that "reverse tithe" where they live off 10% of their income and give away the rest (to church and other organizations). We give the equivalent of 8-9% of our income post-taxes. |
