I always took Bush's jibberjabber about the need to fund 'faith based initiative programs' as a code that means CHRISTIAN based programs.
I'm an athiest, and the idea of tax dollars used to fund Christian programs is pretty offensive to me-

Has any funding aimed at faith based programs gone toward NON Christian programs, or has such funding always gone to christian programs? Have Jewish, Muslim, Hindu or Pagan programs been covered?

I had a heated argument with a Christian nut who asserted america is a 'Christian nation', hence funding should only go toward Christian programs.

If Bush wants the government and Christian church to be so cozy, its high time we tax the churches.
