Not nearly as much as they take in.

Unlike most charities churches are not required to report income, the only tax reports most of them make are related to payment of employees and refunds on material and services for the church. If they p[ay out even one cent it is accounted as a business expense/operation expense for religion, and any taxes are refunded.
The result of this is even fewer financial reports than from mom and pop businesses. Good luck on your seartch.

There is not a unified entity known as "the baptist church". Also, religious organizations in the United States are not required to report their donations or expenditures to anyone, and few do so.

Jehovah's Witnesses do not require any specific "tithe", and all donations are private.
