CMV: Churches don't do enough for the secular communities

My personal (anecdotal) experience with churches is that while they may do a lot of charity works, a lot of those works are religious in nature. For example, providing daycare to their religious members, or providing funeral/wedding services, or providing religious counselling sessions.

&#x200B;

I argue churches don't do enough SECULAR works, such as helping people WITHOUT all the religious baggages. For example, even when churches feed the homeless, they often add in bible reading, which implies if a homeless doesn't want to be taught the bible, they cannot receive the food.

&#x200B;

And don't get me started on the growing trends in megachurches where their donations don't even go towards the communities but instead use for flashy concerts and expensive buildings.

&#x200B;

To change my mind, you would have to show me DATA that MAJORITY of the activities that a church does with its money is beneficial to the NON-RELIGIOUS folks (or people from a different religion, e.g. Hinduism).

Battered women’s shelters don’t help homeless men. Cancer charities don’t help homeless veterans. The Red Cross doesn’t build houses in third world nations. Charities don’t help everyone, they help who they are set up to help. If you don’t like churches because they don’t help all people while refraining from mentioning religion, then you have to be mad at all other charities.
