Ever since religion were founded, they have needed money. Money for churches , priests, etc (or religious equivilents). In the past donations were big, when people were literally more god-fearing. I think in Judaisim people had to donate a fixed percentage of their total earnings (15% I think?) to the synagogue. Now things have changed, and religions need to find new ways of making money, as church attendance goes down, so does donations.
