I don't see a big deal with this either. The churches I know don't rake in profits like you think they do. In fact it is the opposite they barely get by and if they do have any sort of surplus you can bet they use that to do compassion projects or missions to help the poor.
Here we have a large group of people who are riding on their faith to help people, probably many of them are streaching their finances super thin. They are doing the job that the government should be doing, why shouldn't they be reimbursed partially for it? Do you think FEMA is going to help reimburse huston for using their astro dome? I bet they are. What is the difference? I guarentee you FEMA won't give these churches nearly as much as they put in from their own pockets (not including donations specifically for helping the releif effort).
