... and by this I mean an actual tithe of 10% of one's increase?
Which religions require members to give a tenth of their earnings to God?

I GIVE 10% .I HAVE LEARNED YOU CAN'T OUT GIVE GOD.
GIVE AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN UNTO YOU. GOOD MEASURED ,PRESSED DOWN,SHAKEN TOGETHER AND RUNNING OVER.
YOU ARE HELPING TO SUPPORT THE CHURCH.
THE WATER BILL DOESN'T PAY ITS SELF.HOW DO YOU THINK THEY PAY THE BILLS?THE RENT,WATER,LIGHTS,GAS,OFFICE SUPPLY,AND SO ON.DOES THE PASTOR WORK FOR FREE.HOW ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO CLEAN THE CHURCH,MOW THE LAWN?
COME HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO RUN YOUR HOME?THIS IS GODS HOUSE.
I DON'T GIVE TO SEE A BUNCH OF STATUES OR STAIN GLASS WINDOWS.
BUT WE FEED THE HOMELESS,CLOTH THE NAKED,SHELTER THE HOMELESS.IT COST MONEY TO RUN A CHURCH.
I GIVE BECAUSE I WANT TO BE A BLESSING,AND I LIKE TO BE BLESSED.
GIVEN FOR OVER 30 YEARS -NEVER GONE HUNGRY.
I AM BLESSED.
TRY IT IT WORKS

My sister-in-law and brother-in-law are Mormon and give tithe, however the Church will back them up for any monetary needs they may have, they have seven children, who have been fed by the church many times, they have had there house remodeled by the church in order for them to get the best return when they sold it. So as far as Mormons go (I am Not one) The tithe you give may be given back to you tenfold, they don't require 10% but what you can give without putting yourself in the hole.

None. However, several religions specify tithes to the church, including Mormons.

None. 10% goes to the people who propogade this command. God doesn't need money. If a being needs money, then it sure isn't god.

Why Brian? They are the people who belive nearly every words of their religious teachers. They are the people who hope to get rewards after paying 10%, in the form of wealth usually. They are the people who want to get rich.

God doesn't want it -- the church does.
Christ said, 'render unto Ceasar what is Ceasar's, and render unto God what is God's.'
