I give them my time, but not my money, and it can be a certainty during my time hammering away on the construction site, there is not one word of religion spoken by me. Wonder what the new residents will think about a godless hand helping to build their new home. I bet they don’t really care.
Yes, I have because they give a hand up and help people do much better with their lives and don't require any faith based nonsense of the recipients or doners. This seems to be a case where the so-called christian base is peripheral to the charity instead of the other way around.
I've worked for a non-profit and I find that a large percentage of your money donated goes to overhead and salary etc..... So I prefer to donate my time/materials instead of money, because at least then I can make sure my effort is being used properly. Regarding Habitat for Humanity, me and my boyfriend shop for the vast majority of our home improvement stuff at H4H ReStore... it's amazing!
I would not knowingly donate money to a christian or other affiliated with religion charity. There are plenty of them who don't push religion on the people they are trying to help and those are the ones I would deal with.
I have in the past, and I would again. I'm an atheist, and all things being equal I would prefer a secular charity, or perhaps even one that shares and propagates my anti-government views, but no such charities currently rank very high...
