Yeah, if people are doing what I consider to be good things, I don't directly care about exactly why they are doing them.

My concern however is that if there are bad reasons behind it (such as blindly following orders, or simply scoring brownie points) then it's more likely the person may flip in the future, for other bad reasons, or if the orders/incentives change.
Feel free to send me a private message.
Please visit my website here! It's got lots of information about atheism/theism and support for new atheists.
