Let me clarify: there were many genuinely compassionate people there. When I say "ulterior motives" I don't mean (necessarily) selfish motives, but an incredibly warped and misguided idea of what it means to "help people". They scooped everyone into a single proverbial bucket as "needing to say a prayer to accept Jesus" and didn't generally interface with people as real, multifaceted humans who might have more complex needs. They thought the way to help the most people was to industrialize and streamline everything.
