As a secular person who lived in Salt Lake City for almost a decade, I can tell you that money is definitely part of the Mormon belief system. If 100 billion sounds like a lot, imagine what the Catholic Church has. Tithing is a commandment accepted by various churches in the Latter Day Saint movement in which adherents make willing tithe donations, usually ten percent of their income, to their church. It is based on both the biblical practice of paying tithes and modern revelation given to Joseph Smith and his accepted successors. For many of these churches, *the law of tithing* replaced or supplemented the law of consecration. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) emphasized tithing in the 1900s and 1960s to assist in paying church debts. en.m.wikipedia.org
