Well, how about we flip it: why are secular organizations not recognized for the work they do? I mean, why are religious institutions getting all the credit as if they were inherently more virtuous?
The only advantage religion has is its active community that propels initiatives as part of a grand ideal. I don't think the actual work would go undone if the project had already been established from the overwhelming support of an existing secular community. Helping others is, after all, human nature.
Numerous secular organizations get credit for the work they do. Religious isn't more virtuous.
Go cry about your feelings elsewhere
Yeah, after they established a reputation and many years of hard work. Religious orgs don't need to do all that. They show a spiritual symbol and everybody assumes they're doing the Lord's work.
I think you got emotional and started projecting. But don't get confused now and start breaking rule 1.
Nope not emotional, just tired of your whining about how secular organizations get no credit and religious get it without asking even though there is a pile of evidence to the contrary, and I told you to take it elsewhere.
Apologies if that hurt your feelings.
