The link I included in the OP shows two studies/surveys done by Christian organizations. Did you look at them? I did not invent those.
That's a blog written by an unknown blogger. Is there a reason the unknown blogger chooses to use a nom de plume when people write MUCH more controversial articles and sign their actual name?
Is it your blog?

The Christian counselling is not charity, that is proselyting. Great for them doing the other things, but it looks like your's is an exception, certainly not the rule.
Without transparency, how can one ascertain if a religious organization is spending any money, never-mind a major portion such as your group does?
Wrong. Christian counseling is for Christians.
Our church has an administrator, a treasurer, a finance committee and our members receive a monthly financial statement and a yearly proposed budget. Plus, we have our books audited yearly.

Are they available to outsiders? Every other charity has to report to the IRS, and the reports are available. Churches are exempt.
So transparency is not a good thing is what your saying?
So you don't want separation of church and state anymore? You realize that it works BOTH ways? Keep your nose out of our business too.
