How do you know that's all they're offering? There are scores of Catholic and other Christian charities in addition to individual Christians who not only pray but also help with money and aid. How many athiest charities are there?
I don't think he's saying that's all they're offering. He's just saying if they are, that's the only time he'd take issue with it.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
