is it safe to assume that you don't go to one of those churches where the preacher walks around with the Bible in his hand, quotes a few scriptures, then incoherently babbles his interpretations about what it really means and how giving him more money is surely one of the requirements?

I definitely don't go to a church like that. I go to a Plymouth Brethren church where we don't have any professional Christians on the staff, only elders who actually work for a living. We don't have much need for money and it is almost never mentioned from the pulpit. I wonder why you wonder that.
