True Christianity does not need 'capitalism' to exist and thrive. True Christianity does not feature pomp and wealth. True Christianity does not need 'tithing' mandated to it, to exist and thrive. Tithing was mandated for the ancient Israelites to care for their priests, who received no land-inheritance (other than 42 little towns and the surrounding fields.) True Christianity does not have a paid clergy with free residence, free vehicle, and a hefty retirement package.
There's a difference between 'true' Christianity, and 'pseudo' Christianity.
There actually is a Christian religion that does not tithe; has never passed a collection plate; and has no paid clergy; and does not accumulate wealth.
But as your question exposes, -- much of religion, exists because of capitalism, tithing, and plenty of money.
It is each ones need to search for something that's different; to being able to recognize the difference between 'true' and 'pseudo' Christianity. The question reflects that the questioner has not found it as yet; and unfairly throws everything into the same barrel.
