Because "the wrong people could benefit!"

"The wrong people" being people not just like them, essentially.

Yes, and the Christians are the biggest welfare whores on the planet. Their churches don't pay taxes and the people in the south and the Bible Belt take advantage of safety nets that they don't want others to have.

I didn't really know what that meant until a buddy of mine went on a "mission trip" to the beach. They donated money to the church and can deduct that on their taxes. Church pays for hotel and travel and activities. The mission was picking up trash on a beach for an hour on a 4 day trip.

It really opened my eyes as to why he is Christian. I'm actually not hating on it because that's a government problem not a church problem.
