Pious cliches and lucre

What is it about right wing religious literature that always has somewhere or other on the page/leaflet a request for money?

And have you ever noticed the words used - 'donation', 'offering'?

One can read pages of cliched pious words and then that request for money. Real money but certainly phoney, unreal 'holy thoughts'.
