part true
many organisations such as various hospices are commonly 'st' something or rather.

i noe what you mean, but it's just that charity for the (partly) wrong reasons is better than none at all

I thought this thread was about the christian edition of monopoly.
Each game piece is one of the apostles from the book of acts. When you convert a square, such as Athens or Rome, you can upgrade with a church game piece, which in turn can be upgraded to a cathedral. Anyone who lands on your square will feel obligated to give you an offering. Beware though! The Pharisees are waiting around every corner to send you to jail without collecting an offering! Only a holy spirit card can get you out, unless you pay 50 gold pieces.

The Raelians and Scientologists are also in the charity game. Good for them!

Annoying? A lot more than that.
Truth is, it doesn't really matter whether you consider yourself Christian, Athiest or Agnostic because a lot of the way we think today have their origins in Christianity. The idea of self, the idea of progress, you can trace the genealogy of those ideas and find them to be Christian. Nothing makes me laugh more than an Athiest dissing Christianity and not realising that Christianity goes a lot deeper than they think. Read Straw Dogs by John Gray.

That's actually a pretty good recommendation, since I'm trying to put together the best critiques of humanism. nice.

I wouldn't necessarily say that it has a monopoly on charity. Its just a lot of charities are Christian based because people work better when they are offered a reward. Christian people believe they will be rewarded in the afterlife by helping out other people. A lot of Christians will only trust charities run by other Christians. We live in a culture that is dominated by various denominations of Christian faith.
That said, all the best small charities that I know are run by agnostics. I am agnostic. Kind of funny how that works.
