And now it must change with the times and become more secular because it is afraid it will offend those it serves.
Thats ok with me. It is their organization and they have the right to call it whatever they want.
Personally, I only give money to Christian charities who FORCE the recipients to learn and recite Bible verses BEFORE any of the charitable goods are handed out--so of course the Red Cross/Crecent/Pool of blood/Diamond has never gotten any of my money.
Would I accept their charity if I was in need? Yes.
Would a Muslim or atheist in need accept charity from an orgaization called the "Red Cross" instead of the "Red Crecent"? I would hope so!
If not, then that is their problem, not the organizations' problem.
There is an old saying that beggers can't be choosers...
