I think it's deceit too. I think the justification is very weak. I think 'salvation' in the title sorta gives it away. The insignia is all religious symbolism.. crosses, snakes.. plus they have their own unique inventions like colours of the flag representing basic beliefs, and the shield shape for instance... yeah not super obviously Christian but Christian all the same. The intention is never to decieve.
About charity work.. the donations of the members goes towards the administration so any donations made by non members actually goes more towards the need than most other charities which fund their administration with a percentage of the gift.
That said some local corps in the UK I know have collected for band funds at Christmas without advertising that fact. Corruption again. No one is immune.
The SA in the UK has also been a fair employer employing non religious as well as religious in it's stores in London for example.
And I don't think the website could be accused of being non committal on it's statement of belief.
