I think I may be seeing a pattern as to why your are attracting this type of criticism:
She pointed out that the organization you recommended has an anti-gay agenda and actively promotes re-education of gays and lesbians. That is a valid ethical concern and thus the comment about an ethical vaccuum is topical to your recommendation. You are choosing to ignore that the organization is engaged in unethical behaviour. Your defense of "well it's my choice who I donate to", however, isn't valid when you are supplying a recommendation. She didn't say you can't donate the Salvation Army, she said there are better choices which aren't engaged in unethical behaviour. Also, by retreating to that defense, you moved the debate directly to your faith by supplying it as a reason to support your recommendation. She then dismissed your faith, rather rudely, because what you believe isn't really material to the topic of who people should donate money to in a disaster situation.
Essentially, I think you're taking the criticism too personally. I don't think she's aiming to attack you or your religious beliefs, they're immaterial to her.
