The Salvation Army, like all religious charities, was already off my list, but in case you felt guilty about stiffing the bell-ringer ...

Scratch the Salvation Army off your charity lists, everyone : Pharyngula:

I used to always give my spare change to the Salvation Army at this time of year — there they were, ringing their bell outside the grocery store, so sure, I'd give a little. That changed when I learned about their anti-gay policies, though…and now there's another reason to spurn the Salvation Army.

The Salvation Army says it refuses to distribute Harry Potter and Twilight toys collected for needy children because they're incompatible with the charity's Christian beliefs.

I like my charities like I like my government: secular, not evil, and transparent.
