To be fair, a lot of small community churches or other religious shelters seem to do a lot more than anyone else about the problem.

I work for a church. We do a LOT for the community. Free lunches under the bridge. Park clean ups every season. After school programs for kids.
But in no way are we even close to doing as much good as actual organized programs that have real leadership and get funding.

Churches are a social hate group. I love faith, especially when you have to do the spiritual work yourself, but organized faith corrupts the mind and soul.
