Much of conservative charity is to churches and religious causes. It&#x27;s the difference between praying cancer away and investing in cancer research. I can go on for a while about the difference between state offered social services in Massachusetts being far, far more effective than church offered social services in Texas. This difference in approach also has to do with 45.83% of people in Massachusetts are Catholic and with political beliefs in line with the Kennedys and only 18.72% of people in Texas are Catholic with many people from other forms of religion at war with government that wants to teach children science and evolution in schools and treat homeless people with medication, stable housing, and education rather than treating homeless people with prayer and preaching about Jesus.
