There are many Evangelical churches waiting to welcome these people with open arms--and no hand in their pocket.

Maybe, maybe not. I know of some that are absolutely vehement about tithing. It may depend on the pastor more than the denomination. Every church has to walk a fine line between meeting its financial needs, and driving away members who are disgusted by the hard-sell.

Then that is a church that doesn't believe in the book of Malachi...

If you have to force people to tithe, then it isn't a God loving Church.

It is also a Church that doesn't believe in God to provide.

I do not attend a church that is a number counter.
