Are religious people selfish?

... in my area we have more relief for the homeless and poor than anyone else, why is this?

I will grant that Christians have more charities than atheists. Christians have the added benefit of being organized into Christian-specific groups, so that helps a lot. Also, numbers and funding tend to be in their grasp. When atheists do want to donate to a charity, we are often forced to go through Christian channels out of necessity. It definitely makes our numbers look smaller.

I'm not saying that Christians are not charitable, of course. I am definitely opposed to the generalization that you are just selfish. That's dumb. I think people are both charitable and uncharitable. What's the flaw in the charitable among us working together?


Wait... who let you in here, though? I thought I told your kind to scram! Fine, fine, but just this once. 

Thank you, and Christians worth their salt thank all atheist who donate to Christian charities. We can work together for the good of those who are in need. I do not know how many atheist do this and would be interested to know how many here do but, visiting people in nursing homes mean so mush to them, people would be amazed. By visiting someone from my church before Christmas I met her room mate she's 106 years old. This lady was born in 1911 can you imagine what all she has seen. She has a pretty good mind and I hope to have a conversation about what those early years were like.
