Yeah, I wouldn't exactly say that many religious organizations have moved from doing charitable works. The problem is that TV "evangelists" (I use this term extremely loosely) have found a way to live the luxe lifestyle by soliciting donations in the name of God. That totally sucks, and those outfits should not benefit from tax-exempt status. No wonder nonbelievers have disdain for Christianity (because that's probably 98% of televangelists)! If this is the crap they see, I'd have questions, too.
