Faith-Based Organization Quotes
Many of the religious, charitable organizations have developed a technical expertise and efficiency in delivering social services. Therefore, frequently the government uses them as contractors to deliver social services that would otherwise be provided by government employees or private corporations who do not have the skill or experience and will also take a profit. The Salvation Army and other religious charities from different denominations also serve as contractors. The problem of separation of church and state is ameliorated by the religious organizations agreeing that the services will be provided to all regardless of religious affiliation and that there will be no religion involved in the provision of the services--like required prayer at a homeless shelter funded by the government.
