I know this is my late 1900s American background speaking, but it is insane to me to have a legally binding donation to a religious authority. I would argue a significant portion of the New Testament talks about how much more important it is to do things for the right reason than just doing the thing. Donating to the church because you are forced to seems like it defeating the point of what tithes are about.
