But yeah, it's...evil when a religion gets transactional with it's charity.

Not all religions do. Catholic Charities, for example, doesn't care what religion you practice and does not try to convert people who seek its help.

This is very, very, very dependant on your experiences. My family is from India and they've told me some fascinating stories of the lengths some Catholic charities and churches are willing to go to convert people.
