Sure, they're non-religious, but that doesn't mean they have a great track record. Everyone else pointing this out in the thread is getting downvoted, but they're inefficient, their CEO has a ridiculously high salary, and the Red Cross has frequently exacerbated war situations by refusing to choose sides. Their neutrality principle is sorely misguided, and was excoriated by Florence Nightengale at the time of its inception.
I can provide some concrete examples of horrid Red Cross behavior if anyone would like, but these two books are relevant. To give a quick one, they knew about the concentration camps in WWII and decided it was against their policy of neutrality to tell anyone.
Long story short, there are better charities. Medicins sans Frontieres (particularly the French branch) is pretty decent, but their record isn't spotless either. To be honest, the humanitarian field is kind of a mess.
