Every atheist who volunteers.
Every atheist who joins the military.
Every atheist who just got done helping the old lady neighbor move a couple dozen heavy boxes to her minivan for no reason other than I saw her and she clearly needed help.
Your "friend" has a ridiculous, self-centered argument that shouldn't even merit a response. The fact that you feel you need to respond to such bigotry out of care for your friend and his opinions is, ironically, itself a disproof of his assertion.

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
