I worked inpatient psych for many years and have seen hundreds of cases of acute mania, one common symptom of which is hyperreligiosity. I've absolutely seen people give away all their money to what we would perceive as good causes. On many occasions, I've seen people let strangers who are homeless move into their homes because they wanted to help them. I've seen people give away all their belongings to people less fortunate. I've also seen the gradual horror dawn on their faces after they start stabilizing and realize what they've done

They do occasionally, it just doesn't make for quite as exciting a headline. My dad had a childhood friend whose father bankrupted their family with his idea for a restaurant where there's no fixed prices and you just pay what you can because he thought it was what God wanted. Definitely better than violent bigotry, still a terrible idea.

Oh they do

They have a revelation that they should give all their worldly possessions away and it just so happens that the local megachurch can help them distribute the money.

As a Christian, something horrible and unrepeatable

religion breeds hatred, segregation by hats worn, excuses to kill and pillage “others”

Sometimes they give all their money to their church though. Funnily enough, that money doesn't help the starving or homeless either.

Yea we do; we're the ones that get sucked up and abused by cults. After an acid trip put me in a cognitive state where I was receiving synchronicities all the time that felt like God communicating to me, I was quickly identified and manipulated by a new age group that secured my trust of being with God before further drugging me and conditioning me to be a functional slave. This tweet is fundamentally wrong and ignorant because the people they are saying don't exist are vulnerable populations that are taken advantage of.

The People's Temple (led by Jim Jones, had a settlement called Jonestown where they committed mass murder-suicide, and is the origin of the term "drinking the kool-aid") was a progressive religious cult that combined Christianity with communist and socialist ideology, with an emphasis on racial equality. Before the whole murder-suicide thing they provided a bunch of social services including soup kitchens, rent assistance, job placement services, free canned goods, clothing, and coal for winter heating. It's pretty wild reading about Jim Jones himself and seeing parallels to some modern online tankies (there's a quote of Jim Jones suggesting they should all kill themselves because the world isn't ready for socialism and then referring to a group of defectors as "Trotskyite defectors" and "Coca-Cola revolutionaries").
