It seems alot of Athiests have this evil notion that every single good thing a Christian does is for the soul purpose of taking advantage of the person and changing their beliefs. But that is very far from true.
If you would've read my post carefully, you would've seen that I said that Eastern Orthodox people have that view of Protestants and their youth services/feeding the poor/etc. I didn't mention anything about atheists in my post.
Alot of pastors refuse pay or don't get paid. Some that do belong to mega churchs. My church of 4,000 people has pastors who work second jobs because they don't make a living preaching. Most pastors infact every single pastor I know does the job out of love for the people and Christ. Not to make money.
Over here being a priest is a full time job, for which you need to go to college/seminar. They even provide a house for you.
