Religious people try to do good
... And you took that personally.
Soinds like coercion
So she tried a different avenue that was not the state.
That different avenue might be coercive and have strict demands on who can receive money and for what, but it's not tax payer money.
"I made it so you can't get help from them, only from me, and now I'm helping you, contingent on you doing what I tell you to. Aren't I so nice and kind?"
This was not religious people trying to do good, this was religious people abusing legislative power to force people into their sphere of influence.
