Technorati tags: Humanitarianism, Charity
Recently some blogs, notably Uncertain Principles, have been listing and discussing charities that are non-religious. For those of us that would rather give to a charity that does not pray, preach, evangelize, proselytize and etc. I have collected a short list of those that seem to be most popular.
I am sure that I have missed many more. Feel free to comment with your own favorites. Due to comment spam, comments will be moderated - meaning I will manually review each comment.

My favorites are:
Human Rights Campaign
Basic Rights Oregon
MoveOn.org
Greenpeace
I’m pretty sure they are non-religious. If I’m wrong, please correct me.

In regards to Racquel’s post – The Human Rights Campaign and MoveOn are both great organizations, but may not be considered charities. Due to their political involvement and agendas, contributions to these organizations are not tax deductible as charitable donations.
Thank you for this list! It is important to me that my charitable donations do not proselytize, and I prefer to donate to non-religious organizations.
