I didn't mind the tax, actually (that is, while I for the general separation of church and state, there is this strangely deeply rooted belief in the church's position as a part of our culture in me, and I'm all for supporting the culture :)) - like I said to Tine above, I'm just the anally-neurotic-about-religious-matters agnostic eVAH, so I've long been in all sorts of Intense Ethical Crises over remaining a member when I wasn't buying what they were selling. (Which, disclaimercakes, I'm not saying that people who belong to the church just because they want a church wedding OMG some day don't have every right to do that, if it makes them happy. :))
