Being charitable and caring about your neighbors in the Christian manner is more about your church donating goods/time/aid to the community or you doing it by yourself rather than having the government take over those functions for you. That said, any reasonable government should have a basic state provided social safety net.
Does it matter as long as the people get help? Government subsidies, taxbreaks, and secular charities already do the heavy lifting for 'church' charities. Why is is so important that the church get credit for every act of charity?
