At the risk that I’m breaking a forum rule.

I read a lot of posts here from people expressing the desire to help those less fortunate. Well here’s a chance to put your money where your mouth is.
Mission Medical Clinic provides medical, dental, and vision care to those who can’t afford it. So go to their website and donate please.
This is a local nonprofit organization.

Sounded good to me...until I discovered they're a religious organization.

Absolutely nothing ... unless you have to listen to a sermon before getting your teeth cleaned.

Does that qualify as a racist equivalent?

I’m an atheist, but don’t see anything wrong with providing needed care to the poor.

I'm an atheist-Buddhist, and I prefer to donate to charities that are not religiously affiliated. Is there anything wrong with that? Do you think that people who don't donate to religious organizations don't support various charities?
