A year ago, I would have agreed with you because all examples of Religion I saw were like that. They provided help with strings attached. They did things to make sure non-members followed the rules of their religion.
I found about a Unitarian Universalist church in my area and now am considering joining.
In contrast to other religions I've seen, the UU church welcomes everyone no matter their background or who they love. The church I attend has a reproductive task force that helps pregnant women and new moms no matter what they have decided to do with the pregnancy. There is a group that goes to Planned Parenthood in my city to protect women from the protesters. They by diapers for mothers with no money to buy them. They will give rides to doctor appointments for those that need them but can't afford them. They strongly believe we need more sex education and free birth control and that if we have those the need for abortion will be greatly reduced.

So please don't cast your net so widely.
