When I think of charity in my city, I have soup kitchen, run by church, adult day care run by another church, drug clinic run by church, habitat humanity branch, another church, probably a lot I am missing since I'm not a churchy person. I think there are some nonsecular like Kiwanis and Lions also.

This study shows religious tend to donate more to charity.

It turns out jerks are jerks, and the church bashing is unwarranted here.
