That hasn't been my experience at all. Protestant churches, sure. But the Catholic church is pretty ingrained and tends to do a lot for the poor. Most leftists are involved with the church in some way.
My dad sleeps/chaperones at the protestant church some nights with some unhoused families. I'm sure a lot of churches don't do jack, but some do... 🤷
Protestant church my family went to in my (small) hometown had a program partially organized by my grandparents for free weekly community meals and a food bank. Was never religious even as a kid but I volunteered there for 10 years or so; they had hundreds of people through there every week...it was pretty cool ngl. Definitely not the rule from what I've experienced though.
That makes a ton of sense, honestly. Because all we have are Protestant churches around here
The sooner their movement dies out the better it is for society around the world
