I have yet to see any religious charity that does not leverage the donation directly or indirectly to proselytize. If £100 helps them get a pass on spreading bullshit even if all of that particular £100 is transferred to the children, then I will still have to weigh the acute needs of the children against longer term harm to humanity.
When a hypothetical is presented, the respondent isn't permitted to add provisos of his/her own.
So, your position is that it would be better to give £10 to feed hungry children than £100?

You real question is does the actual charitable benefit of giving to a religious charity outweigh the harm of any proselytizing effect the religion extracts from running the charity.
The answer is it depends.
