I think they might be afraid that he is pulling their fleeced flocks away from the heretical “prosperity gospel”

Because many Christians consider it their duty to their church to tithe, to support the church financially.

Also WHERE were they to “tithe” to ???

I thought that was fairly obvious, each to his own church. Do you suggest that he was asking people at the rally, Christian and non-Christian alike to send money to his professed church? When financial guru Dave Ramsey tells people they need to tithe, do you have the same suspicions of him as well?

I would assume to their churches, which is completely biblical.

Many of these "prosperity churches" however, cajole their flocks into donating large sums of "seed money", over and above their tithes, to them with promises that God will reward them monetarily or materially for their "gifts". There is NO scriptural basis for this and, it preys on those least likely to be able to afford it (i.e. the poor and those on fixed incomes), kind of like sub-prime loans.
