I think this trend is more of a result of organized religions using people as live stock to annually give a large % of their income to the church. The Bible doesn’t say to give your money to church, it says in Leviticus 27:30: "A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy to the Lord. The lord is not church or a man made assembly of people imo and so I agree with the spiritualists that this is absurd. That said, I do think there is something about community and support that spiritualism doesn’t address.
