One Atheist’s Clever Message for the Salvation Army

Here’s an interesting idea: Instead of giving money to the Salvation Army this year — since it’s a religious charity that discriminates against LGBT people — consider dropping this note in the red pails:

It’s not just that you’re giving to a secular organization. It’s letting the Salvation Army know that you would’ve given to them if their hiring policies weren’t so bigoted.

When I initially saw the picture, part of me thought it was a dick move. By all means, give money to a Humanist group, but why rub it in to a group you’re not giving to? The more I thought about it, though, the more I like this approach. The Salvation Army always gets plenty of good press this time of year. They need to hear from people who aren’t giving to them and have a good reason for it. Staying silent gives them no reason to even consider changing their policies.
