I'm not necessarily opposed to supporting religious orgs since it is hard to find op shops that aren't (not that there isn't, like Savers isn't religious-based iirc). But I'd rather support other places than salvos who are pretty known to be anti-sex work/lgbtqia+/homeless/basically anything.
Yeah I don't think I've ever shopped at Salvos. Only opshops I've bought from is Vinnie's, but I also volunteered there for experience and Savers because my partner works there. But I do try and avoid salvos because of it. But I am quite lucky that there are other options nearby. I imagine if that's your only opshop for a while then I don't fault anyone from buying from there.
