Church, State, and Foreign Aid

Lefties always carp that the US should give more taxdollars to the UN, to needy foreign nations, etc. Now to my knowledge, the US is one of the strictest in adhering to separation of Church and State. So it seems clear that many of the foreign states or organizations to whom we give aid do not have our “wall” separating church and state. I.e., foreign aid does end up going to religious groups, and/or states that themselves subsidize or are otherwise involved in religion, or that have an established religion (by the left’s hair-trigger standards).

Now, liberals go nuts if the US government subsidizes a church or even a church school. Yet they turn a blind eye to the support of religion effected by our subsidy of foreign states.
