    Why should our publicly funded social safety net encourage belief in absurd bullshit?

      Because feeding people isn’t absurd.

        Great let’s do it through secular public means, where it can be done at scale, without dogmatic strings attached, and it can cover everyone and not be an ad hoc patchwork that causes some people to fall through the cracks

        Grants to faith based charities are just a backdoor for siphoning public funds to religious groups. We already subsidize their absurdity and disinformation via tax breaks.
