A robust and non-ideological non-profit sector is key to any form of healthy capitalist system. That should be an agreeable statement to anyone regardless of if they like or hate capitalism.

    There are two main reasons that evangelicals oppose government social services. One: Communism bad (well, "socialism bad" now because they have to poison the well against European democracies now that USSR is gone). Two: If the government helps people, people will be less likely to seek help from evangelical organizations, which eliminates a huge way to market Supply Side Jesus to people. Eating in to evangelicals' ability to proselytize compellingly is therefore a non-starter.
