Did you know that Salvation Army gives free food and shelter and counseling in every city around the world in Jesus name? [Spirituality & Religion]

@CopperCicada how are they politically active?

@Carazaa They donate money to political lobbies and political candidates. They are not alone in that. Many religious organizations do. I will not have anything to do with any religious organization or body that does that. In terms of support or participation.

@CopperCicada I don't believe they do that they help people and spread the gospel. Can you send me proof of that please?

@Carazaa It is actually quite easy to see what organizations contribute to lobbying and campaign contributions. OpenSecrets is one such site. You can see what they contribute each year. To which parties. To which candidates. To which issues. The name of their lobbying firm.

So here is a screen shot.

Whether it's a problem or not is really up to you. I find mixing politics and religion antithetical to both.

@CopperCicada I don't think they do! I don't believe in lobbying for religious organizations too!

@CopperCicada I am not sure that is correct but on there it looks like they give .01% democratically. They really care about the poor and needy causes! I do too!

@Carazaa I don't care what they give it to. I won't engage a religious organization that is politically active.

@CopperCicada they are not! You must not care about people who are hurting! Hopefully your house won't burn down or you won't lose your income ever! And if you start a non profit and have a soup kitchen I don't care who you vote for because you are helping people and I would give to you! Don't throw stones in glass houses😉

@Carazaa There are plenty of organizations one can donate money to and support that don't lobby and engage political campaigns.
