Funneling tax money to religious groups

Since the Bush administration is so keep on giving “faith-based” organizations money (often for providing the kinds of services that he tries to eliminate so he can afford his massive tax cuts), why should the Christians and Jews have all the fun? Here’s a few ideas :

The Rastafarians can set up a drug counseling program and get up to $50,000 in grants from the Department of Justice’s Weed and Seed program.
The Breatharians (people who believe we can get all our nutrients by breathing instead of eating) get a piece of the $150 million that the Department of Agriculture has set aside for the Emergency Food Assistance Program.
The Tantra Hindus could try to get some of the $83 million set aside for abstinence education.
The Church of Satan could try for some of the $12 million allocated for the DOJ’s Juvenile Mentoring Program.

Take a look at all the programs that offer money to “faith-based” organizations here and post some ideas in the comments.
