The Salvation Army is a Christian organization. So no, I wouldn't ever donate to them. I'm not Christian, I don't believe in their beliefs, and I'm actively AGAINST some of their beliefs, because they go against my own beliefs as a Jewish woman.
This statement concerns me. Should the posture of other's be that they are not Jewish and would never donate to anything to a Jewish affiliation? They don't believe in their beliefs and they're actively AGAINST some of their beliefs, because they go against their own beliefs as a Christian person.

Tolerance is a wonderful thing and I try to respect the religious affiliation of others. I believe it may have been enough to state you would only want to donate to non-Christian organization. Peace to you.
