Social welfare programs are not based on religious convictions. They are supported by atheists, agnostics, Muslims, Jews, Christians, and Wicca. By people with religious faith, and by those without.
Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Native American shamans, atheists, Taoists, Buddhists, and agnositcs would probably have a problem giving money to the Methodist and Catholic church to run the nation's food stamps program.
Beyond that, I am not sure it is constitutional to have a government pay churches to run major social programs, it would be untested experiment for which we have no evidence would work, and when this nation did rely on charity it was during the Guilded Age when poverty and destitution were rampant in spite of the efforts of charity.

OH, I'm far from being a pastor; but I have thought about becoming an Ordained Minister, just so I could do marriages and funerals.

God's word is the same today, yesterday, and forever. Time is irrelevant except to those that don't like what it says.
The Bible does talk about homosexuality and how it's an abomination.
That's OT. The NT is clear about homosexuality, it's sinful nature, and the "reward" you homosexuals will receive for your choice.

LOL, I have a friend that does it.. He is kinda kooky anyway, but he gets about 8-10 gigs a year & has a great time & gets new contacts, free food & on occasion lucky w/ some well "seasoned" drunk ladies........
He has done the Mt's, the ocean & a nude weeding once on the beach, although he didn't have to partake (it was optional)..

Yes, I know social welfare programs are not (necessarily) based on religious convictions. That was my point that when Jesus instructed to help the poor he was not talking to the government and people who do want the government to have these programs do not favor them because of Jesus. That was the point I was making to Phantasmal.
Such church programs are constitutional as long as they keep the federal funded programs separate from religious activities. The faith based initiatives program was established by Bush (White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives (OFBCI) and continued under Obama under a different name. It continues to exist but has no director.
A few things for thought.. When Jesus said that those ppl were paying their taxes to Rome, they were also paying their tithe to the Jewish authorties, who were also the religious authorities @ the time, a part of which was used to help the poor, widows etc...

It's clear you're afraid of the "reward" you'll receive for being one, faggot.
Quote the chapter and verse where God says you being a fag is acceptable.

You claim it's OK yet can't prove it.
Only you consider what you'll get for choosing to be a faggot is a win. The only thing that would make it better is if you were to get AIDS and suffer in this life.

As usual the haters are so pleased to get after the powerless. It must be some self gratifying sport for them. The vast majority of those on help are children, and the abject poor. If you think it will get your personal,super super hard working money back to you,you are dreaming.It is the top 1 percent and corporations that are confiscating the wealth and letting you pay the taxes.
It is a human frailty to want to wield power over those below us in society. Your attitude to the poor is the same as the rich have toward you. They think they deserve all that wealth and they are entitled to power. They see you as losers for not being them.

God will prove it. Trust me. If you don't trust me, deal with the "reward". Your choice. In the end, that's all that matters.
