Philosophical position about the rules of a hypothetical afterlife doesn't have any impact on whether a charity is a charity either
Can you not see your hypocrisy for wanting to cripple a public service because you don't like its ideology?
Churches are not a public service.
Incorrect, churches were historically the first service hubs in most communities, and many continue to do so
Food outreach, emergency economic relief, free childcare services, and more
Look I get you enjoy being an edgy little atheist but that doesn't give you the right to ignore the massive amount of good churches do every day in communities across the world.
... Exclusively to their church members. C'mon, that's low hanging fruit.
Not true and I actively worked at a church that provided food outreach to anyone that came to their doors, and considered anyone suggested by a church member for financial relief (there has to be some limits, the funds are not infinite)
Sure not every church does, but I'll tell you this that any church that only provides services for their members is ignoring some of Jesus's most important teachings and I will never support such an organization
You cannot discount all the good because of the bad, it creates a false image of their contribution to the cohesiveness of this country and I am telling you RIGHT NOW that if you want ANY hope of the U.S. coming out of this even SLIGHTLY then you will need to sit beside progressive theists because we ALL have a common enemy and your marginalization is going to hamper that (I don't just mean you, I mean ALL heathens)
Calling me a heathen and I'm the bigot? There's no need to disparage atheists or non-believers.
And yes it's for church members, like don't even pretend. I don't get why y'all have to lie so much if you supposedly have god on your side lmao.
Ok well good night. I'm done entertaining your trollish delusions.
If you aren't a Christian, then the label heathen is accurate in dictionaries already older than this country so yes, you are a heathen. Or Apostate, I dunno but from your lack of nuance I doubt it.
I'm sorry that not every church lives up to the cartoonishly evil supposition that lives in your skull
