So it's not about results, but rather about how they arrive at their decision? It's not so much about real-world results, but moral dudgeon? I volunteered at a religious food bank about 15 years ago. They handed out food, no questions asked, to anyone who showed up, with no religious requirements (attending church, avowing belief, and so on) at all.
Was I wrong? Were they wrong? Are your personal feelings really more important than helping the needy? I didn't feel my opinion was more important than their hunger.
Food bank good.
Religion bad.
The feeding of the poor good.
The continued support of religion in society bad.
