But if bigots are handing out free publicity, who are the upstate atheists to turn them down?
One is a club for like-minded individuals, the other is a charity for the hungry. I don't believe the distinction is too difficult for you to grasp. It's a private charity and they are within their rights to turn away any voluteers they choose...and the volunteers who are turned away are well within their rights to draw attention to the rejection.
Maybe the Spartanburg Soup Kitchen should rename itself the Spartanburg Christian Soup Kitchen, and have a little honesty in their advertising.
Maybe you should read their mission statement.

Its ultimately all about selling god, not simply doing good without expectation.
Why does an all powerful god need "glory"? Seems to me he already has enough cheerleader salesmen.
