Secular programs more helpful to unemployed

• Wearisome Bedfellows

Bush can make executive grants to faith-based organizations but that doesn't make the godly more capable.

The Charitable Choice Research Project, the largest of its kind to date, focused on government-funded programs in Indiana, Massachusetts and North Carolina. Its results run contrary to the assertion of many religious groups and their advocates that faith-based programs are more effective than their secular counterparts.

Fifty-three percent of the clients of secular programs were placed in full-time jobs, versus 31 percent in faith-based programs, according to data on 5,600 people served by 53 programs in Indiana. The secular providers secured jobs with health benefits for 9 percent of their clients, against 0.5 percent for the religious providers.
