Shared values and social constructs.

As a non-Christian one thing keeps bringing me back to the arms of the Church. Charity, freedom and liberty- my whole value system. It is easy here in the west to enjoy these values as a non-Christian but how does this translate in foreign countries with different social values when it comes to philanthropy and foreign aid. Whether you are a Christian or not, if you are a westerner you have the same desire to help people. As our society becomes more secular the more powerless we are becoming at changing the conditions and circumstances of impoverished and oppressed people. Secular philanthropy has cessation of suffering as its goal where as christian charity has a deeper mission. One that aims at the heart of the individual and seeks to change the moral behavior(yes that is judgemental). That is why secularist make government their religion. And when their religion fails, as government will always do, they tend to make freedom and Christianity their enemy.
It is apparent to me now that these values are inseparable from the Church and cannot be effective in the hands of any other world view. My issues with the church are things like afterlife, hell and punishment. My skepticism with these have to do with social constructs rather than lasting values.
