The Charity Commission website indicates that one of the criteria for Public Benefit is 'The Advancement of Religion'. So we're OK.
It then goes on to define Religion:
The advancement of religion
20. For the purposes of charity law, a religion is a system of belief that has certain characteristics that have been identified in case law and clarified in the Charities Act 2006. Section 2(3) of the Charities Act states that:
"religion includes:
- a religion which involves a belief in more than one god, and
- a religion which does not involve a belief in a god"
What about belief in just one God?
Does this definition tacitly exclude all the great monotheistic faiths?
