ichaelm -- thank you for posting about this deal.
But it by no means involves "easy membershiip". It may be "easy" for many people, and may be impossible for those who do not accept the divinity of Jesus of Nazareth. That's a whole lot of people.

ETA

And there are requirements in addition to those mentioned in your post.

In addition to the requirements set forth in your post, the credit union also has this:

"By signing below, I acknowledge that I have received, understand and am in alignment with the Wesleyan Christian Doctrine and its identity as shown in America’s Christian Credit Union’s Statement of Faith."
https://f.hubspotusercontent40.net/hubfs/5826595/ACCU%20Forms/Personal_Profile.pdf

The lengthy "Statement of Faith" can be found at https://americaschristiancu.com/statement-of-faith/ and includes such things as:
"Marriage between a man and a woman is the only proper setting for sexual intimacy."

Easy Membership for some; impossible for many (including some Christians).

When an account holder dies could this credit union refuse to hand over the money to the deceased's heirs or P.O.D.'s since he signed an agreement with their beliefs, including that his soul is immortal and never dies???? 

Maybe when Jesus has finally had enough of politicians using his name in vain, distorting his message of compassion and kindness into one encouraging greed, bigotry, ignorance and delight in cruelty, he'll come down, then open his own credit union. No penalty for early withdrawal with him......

Thank you alan1. For the vast majority of Americans who do not accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and/or engage in "sexual intimacy" outside of marriage, membership to this credit union hardly seems "easy."

Their exclusivity doesn't jibe with their vow, "We believe that every person is to be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity, and that hateful and harassing behavior or attitudes directed towards any individual are to be repudiated and are not in accord with Scripture nor the spirit of our calling as a Christian organization."

Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.  -- Matthew 7:5

Read the whole statement of faith and agree with it as a summary to the Christian Faith---The one item I might take issue with is that of Tithing being mandatory---Mormons make it mandatory---It is not a New Testament commandment---With that said I have used the principle of tithing myself---But voluntarily---I am a born again Christian and owe every breath and heart beat to the saving grace of Jesus Christ my Lord and Saviour.

I'm an atheist and have an antagonistic relationship with Christian Churches. I have visited many cathedrals and churches all over Europe - does that mean I could join? It IS a relationship I have...

I get it---Before my conversion experience I was one of the Christians worst night mares.

Well said happyharold4 on your two comments.

Not sure why their agreement is much of a controversy. If it offends your beliefs, don't join. If you have no beliefs and wish to take advantage of the deal, then sign the pledge. I am sure they are not going to to do a background check on you.

Meanwhile it seams the left wing violence continued while i was on hiatus:

Two Jewish staff members murdered at Jewish embassy in Washington DC.

Antifa violence erupts in Seattle over several days with some 31 arrested. Looks like the Ds are going back to their old playbook for the next election.
