The Christian Charity and the Atheist: A Donation Saga

A Christian-owned children’s home is landing in the headlines after refusing to accept a $100 donation from an atheist group—a decision that sparked a viral crowdfunding campaign that has now raised more than $25,000.

It all started when a man named Matt Wilbourn said that he donated $100 to the Murrow Indian Children’s Home in Muskagee, Okla., a group that is affiliated with the American Baptist Churches Association.

The home’s mission is “to provide a safe, nurturing environment, spiritual foundation, and cultural experience to Native American children in crisis,” according to its website.
