o.k., the research on federal funding for non-profits is going to take more patience than I can muster. There is a lot of funding available to them, but finding who gets what is not easy to find.

Based on what I have found, I would say that many non-profits receive money from the gov't--this is based on the sheer volume of funds available to them.

So, based on this, I will stand on my analogy.

Manx -

You missed my point. Working for a religious organization is very different than a "normal" job. The "common goal" thing applies to them when it doesn't apply to working for a secular organization.

To work for, say Ingersoll-Rand (my former employer), didn't require any specific personal convictions.

To work for PETA would. To work for NOW, would. To work for Catholic Charities would. Regardless of the position.
