When I resigned I got a letter from the PP warning me that they wouldn't bury

That sounds seriously mean. I'd try to get a rebate of past
contributions - on principle.

ITSM a religion is a sort of club, and if you leave you can't demand that they
reimburse your past contributions.

Or is it more like a form of insurance?

Hmm, do people really think God is going to be taken in by Pascalian

God.
