Whether you agree with the faith or not, these organizations do a lot of good and I would be all for tearing down the welfare establishment and funding these organizations; it would work a lot better than the government run crap that we have now.
The only thing based on faith in these organizations is in their name. They are funneling tax money too/through them just as they did ACORN, but on a greater level.
