I'm not religious either (although I am a christian) so I'm not sure how I feel about this. Theft is bad, disproportionate damage to property in order to carry out theft is worse, but I'm always uneasy about the amount of money tied up in the spectacle of religion to wow the flock when it could be put to more practical and humane use elsewhere.
I recall my dear old dad's anger at the way his family were treated by some members of the clergy at the time of my sister's christening compared with somewhat wealthier church patrons. Money is a drug which even the church is addicted to.
