>the recipent may interpret under their prefered deity as they wish This may come as a shock to you, but there's a lot of people in the world who don't have any "preferred deity", and really don't appreciate religious people trying to push their myths on them. >It's rather sad that even an act of kindness is now seen as bad behaviour simply from refusal to accept that we have different ways of showing it. This reminds me of Christians who want to give food to starving people, but only if they sit and listen to some stupid sermon trying to get them to convert. If you want to be kind, then don't tie your "act of kindness" to your belief system in an attempt to convert others to it. This is generally an American problem too. Other cultures, even when they do have a religion, don't really care about pushing it on others. Even in Europe, most modern-day Christians there seem to keep their religion very private (hence why Germans say "gesundheit" when someone sneezes, even though Germany is traditionally a Christian country).
