You'll find no shortage of citations, especially from religious organizations when they feel the need to threaten government sponsored childcare over uppity sheep telling the cops about pedo priests. Ultimately, it's the same type of claim as magic book being the best selling of all time. Repeated endlessly by authoritarian nitwits who want to flood the zone with shit.
But sure, if we ignore gos and all the ways that gos fund religious ngos...and all of the ways that secular ngos fund religious ngos, and if we count all churches as one church, and if we allow for double counting charitable contributions -to- given churches....on the third tuesday of the fourth month when the moon is full you can squint at it and say it's the biggest. In mere reality they don't hold a candle to gos or the largest ngos.
All of this before we start to talk about the terms and conditions of their alleged charity. End of the day though, it's cool. More charity is better than less charity. It'd be easier to be so cool about it if they weren't constantly extorting parishioners and funders while lying their balls off about what charity they actually do as an excuse for what charity they are manifestly not doing..whether by secular standards or the purported thought droppings of a middle eastern shaman.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
