Are Nonreligious Organizations Able to Provide the Same Services as Churches?
#14
RE: Are Nonreligious Organizations Able to Provide the Same Services as Churches?
I would say, hell yes. In a country where religious affiliation is very low (most of Northern and Western Europe) many secular organisations take up the slack where the state rolls back.

Is it easy? no. Funding is always a challenge. But often it's quite good to see religious and non-religious people working together within a community rather than just one or the other (recent humanist soup kitchens have been operating near where I live where both humanists and theists of all varieties have contributed).
Love atheistforums.org? Consider becoming a patreon and helping towards our server costs.
