It's much easier for someone that has freedom and is clothed and fed to see the world as a beautiful place. How about those who are living under oppression, living in the streets, scratching around for their next meal? I'm sure that they don't think that the world is a wonderful place. How about those suffering from chronic conditions and diseases or those rotting in prisons because of their political or religious beliefs?
Congratulations, you just raised one of the principal reasons for not believing in god. That is the problem of evil suffered through no fault of the victim.

Yes indeed and many secular agencies and foundations do, and they do it without religious obligation.

I doubt either of those things would be of much use, particularly the later.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
