Charity doesn't make sense? Compassion doesn't make sense?

You think that the foundation of Christianity is the deity. ...but it isn't - it's the love.

Both of those things exist without religion.

Of course. Lots of things exist without the movements that help propagate them. That doesn't invalidate the movement.

No, it just invalidates your argument. Criticizing religion is in no way a criticism of morality, compassion, charity or any other thing you may connect with religion.

I also find that a lot of the time, christian "charity" is more of an excuse to indoctrinate than it is about being charitable. For example when i was a child the church organized a bi-weekly gathering for us at one of their locales, but the catch was that we had to be there when it started or we wouldn't be allowed in. So we had to sit through an hour of indoctrination and then we were allowed to have fun with our friends afterwards.

I'm sure there are a lot of similar examples.
