29. I agree on the need for non-Christain groups to get money - and disagree
on the "When the government subsidizes a church program, it frees up that church's funding for other purposes; therefore, it is acting to support that church in defiance of the first amendment".

A Church group MUST use its monies to survive - only after that can it do good deeds with any excess monies. Adding to the excess monies does not affect the survival monies already budgeted by the church.

True that money is "fungible" - but in this case that has no effect - at least in my opinion :-)
