This is false.
Quote:For fiscal year 2005, more than $2.2 billion in competitive social service grants were awarded to faith-based organizations. Between fiscal years 2003 and 2005, the total dollar amount of all grants awarded to FBOs increased by 21 percent (GAO 2006:43[3]).
Perhaps you should learn more about these things before opining about them?
Your right I did not know that money was given to faith base organisations, however not all faith base organisations are Christian. That amount of money is not even close to what the Christian churches give to Christian organisations to help the people in need. Also the government wouldn't be able to help as we do without raising your taxes. I just do not understand why people get offended by Christians doing good things and relieving the burden on the public, strange just strange.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
