I unfortunately left out a “not” in the last paragraph of my reply. I assure you that my experience with non-profits doing work for education, love of neighbor, and local community building is not at all greed and funded mostly by the religious or charitable sponsors themselves. They are strictly forbidden to proselytize and don’t discriminate in hiring staff, sponsorship, governance, or serving those in need in terms of any religious criteria. If they were to do this they would violate the IRS tax rules for 501 not for profit organizations. I agree with your conclusion here but would strengthen this with professional social work prescription NOT to tell people how to live their lives but assist them to make their own best decisions as to how to live their lives.
