Among all Christian denominations that began in the USA, how many of their churches periodically ask
their congregations and their long-distance donors to make contributions to Deist organizations?

Were it not for the good work of Deists in the transition from British governmental control over the territory where the USA is now geographically positioned, there might have been no such transition, or there might have been a transition to a government like the one in Haiti.

Of course, the denomination of Christianity that has its headquarters in the nation-state of Vatican City is exempt, having not started in the USA. By avoiding this money cost, the Vatican City church should be able to afford the cost of equipping each of its priests (especially those residing near a deep body of water) with rope and a millstone.

King James Version (public domain)
Matthew 18

1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
