I totally disagree with your attitude up to this point: I also expect charities to require prayer, worship and other conditions such as being drug free to receive charity

Who are you to "expect" a private charity require anything, most especially prayer and worship? Unless of course you are running it and funding it, then you can set the rules.

My apologies. My first statement should have read: I totally AGREE..........

We used to have charities that operated as CIP suggests. It was the only way they succeeded. Then the "Progressive era" did as you seem to prefer, and put the kiboshes to them. A handout without expectations is just welfare by another name.
