I would have less of a problem (mind you, not no problem) if "Faith-Based Initiatives" didn't actually mean "Christian-Based Initiatives".

Let's all remember, September 11th was a Faith-Based Initiative.

The matter of which religion we're supporting doesn't really matter to me. I'm opposed to this because charities are supposed to be doing the work the federal government can't/doesn't do. They're supposed to make the country/world better than it would have been if they didn't exist. When the government acknowledges that they can't do what they're supposed to do, and that they're going to pay churches to do what they acknowledge they should be doing, they become part of the federal government. It's clearly a violation of the seperation of church and state.
