The point of Charity in Christianity was that helping the poor was done on an individual basis and is a personal act of virtue. Christ actually rebukes His disciples at least twice for trying to put the poor before Him, because service to the poor is a means to an end of increasing personal virtue, and not the end in and of itself. Because Liberal Humanism and its various children completely remove God from the equation when it comes to what they claim is "Charity", helping the poor goes from a personal act of virtue to a burden imposed on society. This in turn drags society down to its lowest common denominator instead of encouraging individual virtue.
