The point was raised in HM Rob's thread, in a strange manner that didn't work so well.
So here's a direct question for the atheists of Secular Sevens; what would it take for you to become a Christian?

I'll be a Christian (again) when the churches are taxed, student debt is forgiven, higher education is nationalized, and prayer to the Christian deity is demonstrated to actually produce results.

Well personally, every small, localized church I have gone to has had at least moderate money problems. Be it debt from expansion or just spending more than they have on missionary work and their congregation, good small churches tend to run themselves as such. Large churches tend to run themselves more like businesses, tending not to leave their money in god's hands so much. Not that I'm speaking out against large churches, there is just a lot more legalism involved.

And how many of those localized churches are completely independent? You will find that there is a governance and reporting structure, and all those tithes go up to the top.
