All Churches pass the hat but you aren't thrown out if you don't contribute and people in the church don't know what you give or whether you give at all. I can't be silent when someone gives misinformation. Church is a community of love to me. Disclaimer: I am not a great example of a good Catholic.

I did not mean to stomp on anyone's beliefs, I am just stating my experience in what non-denominational is. It is far less rigid and authoritarian. I personally felt the Catholic Church was like an enterprise but I know it works well for many. I do not condemn anyone's religion and respect their right to choose.
