How to tell if a religion is B.S.

You'd rather be cheated out of money by people who would steal from you for their own selfish gains than be cheated out of money by a religious organization because the money could potentially be used to further/protect injustices you see in organized religion?

If your money is going to be stolen, it is better if the thief is a small time crook than a murderous drug cartel.

If the religious charity is genuinely interested in helping others (good) and not in using others to help proselytize and grandiose itself (evil), then there is no need to tie its efforts to its own name and sumbologies now, Is there? It would not need to make itself a religious charity rather than a secular charity that so happened to be operated by a religious organization, would it now? In fact given the ill fame religion has acquire, a genuinely good intentioned religious charity would be able to maximize its charitable work by not revealing its religious affiliation to others, would it now?

so

You can’t possibly know that. Not really relevant, though.

In the absence of precise information, you have to play the assessed overall odds.  It would be idiotic to say that because you don’t know whether a particular secular organization is worse than a particular religious organization, therefore you should behave as if the any religious organization is no more likely to be worse than any secular organization.
