Really? Why?

Most churches take care of homeless and the helpless and help members of their congregation (in whatever situation, including bereavement).

In the USA, a lot of the top tier universities were started by churches. Surely this isn’t a bad thing? AFAIK, almost 30% of hospitals in the USA are owned by the Catholic Church.

The Catholic Church (which receives most of its money from abroad) basically built the education and healthcare system of Lesotho (as an example).

Saying that they aren’t charities just because you have an irrational hatred towards churches isn’t a reason. If you want an echo chamber for religion bashing, you should maybe try www.reddit.com/r/atheism.



My previous corporate employer engaged in many charitable activities.
