To me it seems pretty simple: google seems to make no distinction between charitable political groups or religious organizations. they're the same damn thing in their eyes.
Would church leaders consider the church a success if they eliminated poverty in the world but the entire world became atheists?
Answer: No. If they were true believers they would accept it as an utter failure since all those souls would be in danger of experiencing a less than optimal eternity.
Question: What would be the answer to the same question from an organization whose sole purpose was to eliminate poverty in the world?
Answer: You're damn right it's a success!
From an ethical standpoint, the focus on the word "nonprofit" is misleading. No organization in the world has "not to make a profit" as its primary purpose. Not being for profit is the means for the transparency that is required to acheive the goal.
