Is it a majority? Or maybe less than 30%? Basically, it's too vague and arbitrary to support your attempt to tear down the fact that religion can do good in the world. Yes, charities can do the same, so unless religions are more often than not asking a favor in exchange for help, why bring it up at all? Don't charities often ask for donations to keep them going? How is that not the same?
Also, as a reminder of this being a protected group, we aren't an echo chamber of Religion. We don't want the fights and brawls associated with that group to come over here. If you think it's because we have "delicate sensitivities" then y'all in the AA group won't mind if some attempt the same tactic to bring Religion-group arguments over there as well. Seems like I've seen some rather delicate sensitivities voiced in AA with regards to believers and friends of believers attempting the same thing.
What we want here are discussions, not debates. If you don't know our definitions of those words and the major difference between them, just ask and we'll be happy to enlighten you
