Ultimately yep that's the way it works. This is why I refuse on principle to donate to or aid any charities that have a religious orientation. I don't believe it is at all proper to discriminate based on religion when it comes to offering aid and support in a crisis situation.
Imagine you were put into that position. Your life and everything you own is destroyed, your starving, and have no shelter or anything else. An aid group comes along and offers to help, but they will only help you if you believe what they do, or convert to believing what they do. How would you feel about that? To be forced into the position of choosing to receive aid and give up what you believed in your whole life. Frankly I find such an idea abhorent and utterly immoral. It is not right to force your religious views down the throats of others who are not in a position to defend themselves or refuse it.
