It’s not mandatory to give donations, and it’s only something well off people should do according to the bible.
Corinthians 9:7 (ESV)
“Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
But the entire idea of literate people needing a pastor to read them the Bible is already going against their beleifs.
Timothy 2:5 (ESV)
“For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”
Churches are scams that Christians have internalized. They were needed back when nobody could read.
Orginized religion is a control mechanism from old times that we have left lying around for any old con man to take advantage of. Modern Protestant movements have been coopted by grifters.
