The moneys we give for missions to help others could never be made up by atheist. I've known Christians who have personally taken it upon themselves to send box car loads of food and medicine Haiti and accompany them there to make sure the goods got into the hands of those who needed them, all this at their own personal expense, this is just one very small example that's going on with the Christian community daily. The three largest relief organizations in the world are Christian and do more for people than any one country in the world, they are always first on the scene of disasters bringing in vital supplies and they do it better than anyone else and without tax dollars, we take these things upon ourselves. Tis doesn't even to begin to explain what we do in our communities, let's see atheist match what we willing give for others.

No, Christians are not donating out of common compassion and empathy as are the atheists. Christians are simply INVESTING! They are either investing in trying to convince more people to join their club and start giving their 10 percent OR they are investing in their perceived retirement fund in heaven where they are expecting greater rewards.
Atheists know they won't be compensated with either comrades or rewards. They are not like the christians that require strings attached to everything they do.
Like the Africans say, "They came to our land with their bibles and taught us to pray with our eyes closed. When we opened our eyes, we had their bibles and they had our land."
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
