No, I think they should all apply, even the Church of Satan. If they have a valid community program, it should be funded.

OT And, assuming the religious organization would run a soup kitchen or such (which it well might), that public money frees up religious money for purely religious purposes. So what? It's their money. The objection only seems to make sense to me if its not about entanglement of church and state but rather about religious purposes somehow being wrong. I'm not sure that I do support Bush's "faith based initiatives" but whether or not they are a good idea they are not "establishment of religion". Tim
