I guess I solved the “professional society” problem a long time ago. I became a Life Member of the American Physical Society (the association for physicists) in the 1970s. The annual dues today are not too much less than what I paid then. By now, they know me well enough that they’ve even stopped asking for a “voluntary donation.”
I also attend a Presbyterian church. (What could be more politically correct than a church with the acronym PCUSA?) I detest what the national headquarters is doing, so many years ago I resigned my membership and became an “active nonmember.” That way I can tithe to my local church, and 100% of my contribution stays in the local church.
