You might be giving money to an atheist pretending to be clergy.

That would be ironic if you took freedomfromfallacy's suggestion to steal the money and keep it for yourself.
An atheist pretending to be a priest taking money from parishioners under false pretenses, (fraud) gets robbed by an atheist pretending to put money into the collection bowl which they in turn had stolen from their elderly grandmother.
Nice atheist morality! Well done team.
Why would it be stealing? From my understanding what fff is saying is just pocket the offering she was supposed to give and put in an antireligious note. It is her money, the church is not entitled, atheist clergy or not who gives a shit, they're not entitled.
On the actual issue, I second the suggestion, one antireligious quote every week. Or baby cooking recipes. It'll make you feel better.
