Exactly. And if you lived in a society that had the kind of moral rectitude that people would care enough about each other to engage in that kind of private charity, you would be living in a Christian society.
Also, a society that had very little government would have to have some other method of social control to stop anti-social behaviors other than governmental force. That is called shunning, social pressure, and standards. People who didn't live up to the standards would find it very difficult to function in society. Homosexuals would be naturally shunned because their behavior is unnatural and represents huge costs to society because of disease, child molestation and the public representation of sexual profligacy.
A society in which all charity was private would have heavy taboos on homosexuality. Count on it.

From my experience, Jews are also quite charitable. I also know a number of atheist people who are very generous with their time and money. I don’t personally know any charitable Buddhists, but I’m sure they’re out there.
I've never before heard anybody assert their religion has a monopoly on charitable expression.
