Back home I'm a volunteer English tutor for adults who never graduated high school and new immigrants looking to learn the language. Many of our students are, yes, poor, disabled, or otherwise disenfranchised.
That's what I do; I mean, I'm not willing to steal credit for the work of many other people like some theists in this thread have already done, but it's what I do personally. I give my knowledge and expertise so that others can attain accreditation that they never had a chance of getting before, with attendant new employment opportunities.
Always love it how ready you guys are to just assume things about our personal lives, like that we do no charity work at all. It really shows how much your preconceptions rule you.

Four times a month, I stay up all night to be ready to go to the forensic hospital 30 minutes away so I can be there in case someone gets raped. Last time, it was a homeless girl, and since I can't let the cops take her back to where she was raped (the 7-11 parking lot), I had to arrange a bed for her at a shelter where I also volunteer.
I do work for the homeless all the time, and I'm currently setting it up so no one gets me Christmas presents this year and in the future, and instead they'll provide me with sweaters, blankets, toiletries, backpacks, etc. so I can keep those things in my car in case I run into a homeless person who needs them (which I do often).
This is all while I'm currently completely broke (I literally have $2.16 to my name) and jobless.
So, yeah, Huggy and GC, tell me again how little atheists do for charity. I even do it all without throwing a book at anyone!
My post was directly aimed at spooky and minimalist, since they were the ones complaining that the money being spent on the property should of been used to feed the poor.
To which my response was "what exactly have you guys done for the poor?" But unsurprisingly you assume I was speaking of ALL atheists.
By the way, do you guys complain about the amount of money the American Atheists spend on monuments? I think not....
