I am an atheist that have encountered the harm of religeon especially Christianity in my daily life. Promotion of child abuse, mistreatment of women, spreading of general ignorance like creationisim.

I was approached by Mission Australia fundraisers, they did not disclose their religeous component of their mission. I signed up to them for regular deduction. As I was previously homeless I gladly signed up.

I have leared today they not only evangelise, they discriminate against non-christians. I am cancelling my deductions.

As to claiming the agencies are non-profit, that is incorrect, they make a profit which goes to the parent body which can be spent evangelising.

I find "spider's" comment above incredible, because it is typical of the abuse of women (as hysterical) that one will find in those of a dogmatic mindset. How would anyone be sensitive to abuse of allowing a particular ideological group to have sway over those who are at their most vulnerable, when one is already so keen to abuse women as spider does?

Impartiality and fairness (not abuse) is one reason why we need the SECULAR PARTY OF AUSTRALIA.
