I know you are not suggesting that all government money given to the poor goes only for food and shelter, but by denigrating what churches do it sounds that way...*shrugs*
"The truth claim made by the religious in American is that one cannot be moral without religion, specifically the Christian religion." While I do know people who believe that, I think you are using too broad a brush, with other examples, of painting the Christian community. In other words, while I would agree with you that much evil and bad is done in the name of religion, and by supposedly religious people, don't you think it odd that specific examples from the liberal community are always Christians? After all aren't there countries where, because of their religious law, homosexuals can actually be put to death?
