The Southern Baptist World Relief Organization is the third largest in the world only behind the Red Cross and Salvation Army, all three are Christian based and do more than any one country in disaster relief.Combine all of your bullshit christer tax scams that offer "help" and they get crushed collectively by a single body.

There's your "atheist relief system"...puttin in a scoche more than .001 of 1%, so go fuck yourself and stop skeezing money from godless secular organizations.
For a moment there I thought I was reading Min!
Well done!
What is often forgotten, with these religious charities, and I've heard a number of cases of this happening, is that they use the desperation of the needy people to push their religion on them. "Here's some food, but before we eat it we're going to read from the bible..."
Conditional charity is NOT charity.
I also hear a lot of arguments from religious people saying, "Why don't we see atheist charities?"
We do. But most atheists I know who give to charity to help overseas people give either through UN based charities or religious ones. Why? Because they have the infrastructure the atheists charities currently do not.
