An interesting social experiment. An American woman pretended to have a starving baby and called 40+ Christian Churches and some other religious groups, asking for one free can of baby formula. Guess what happened?
Exactly. Only three Churches (two of them Black), one Muslim group and one Buddhist temple gave her formula. Background: the calls were made during the federal government shutdown and a period of rapid price increases.
Note also that religious groups in the United States are exempt from paying taxes and don´t have to document their social aid programs. Finally, note that many of these Churches are "pro-life" and oppose a Scandinavian-style welfare state...
