Yes. So, are you saying that if you didn't belong to a religious organization you wouldn't contribute? I volunteered when I was Christian in many community activities for charity, but I still do it now that I am atheist. I am not in favor of eliminating people's right for religion choice, but if you were to prevent homosexuality then what is the difference of that from preventing religion? I'm not trying to prevent people from doing good. Keep doing good. I do it. My sex desires are my business and not of perverts who wash their hands with religion to dictate how one experiments sex.
Drug cartels in Mexico make some towns wealthy and even sponsor schools. They also kill in horrible ways that I don't care to mention, rape, and torture people when they feel like it will help their business. Would I want them to stop business? Yes. Am I not glad people were helped? I'm glad for them, but if the cost is all of those other things, then by all means, STOP! If religion does good at the cost of having the right to choose how people will live their lives (instead of minding their own business), molesting children then covering, killing hundreds in suicide attacks, making women feel like shit if they aren't virgins (or straight), etc... then STOP. Perhaps if we educated people into understanding that they don't have to wait until they are in church to do good they'd pick up where religious organizations left off if the people in it stopped doing good. Personally, I don't need a godly figure to push me into doing good. I just feel like doing it. Bisexual and all.
