I would never take hero points from a player as a "tithe" for the hero's religion. I assume that when it says players have to spend a percentage of hero points on their religion, it means that as a guideline, the player should spend that percentage on things that have to do with the religion--abilities, relationships, virtue personality traits. But you don't actually have to lose that number *poof* to the religion. What would that represent? Hero points are purely a metagame currency, they don't represent anything in the game world.

Of course, I don't have the book with me right now, so maybe the rules technically contradict me. If they do, the rules are silly, and I would never run a game that way.
