Sure they do a lot of good, but the strings attached are often barbed.

I don't mind churches putting together a charity to help their own, like a food pantry for the poorer members of the church or fund raisers for someone who has insurmountable medical bills, but in general I would wish that federal funds or any taxpayer's funds not be used.

We need good social programs that help everyone without strings attached. Also, overseas charities like the Red Cross should be secular IMHO.
