Kinda my point.
It is all utter rubbish. I am an atheist. My immediate neighbours are 1) an atheist and 2) a god fearing theist.
Nevertheless, when I busted my ankle, both handed me food, full on cooked dinners. In turn, I handed out my expertise and climbed ladders fit curtains and light fittings and whatever.
The notion that atheism is some sort of excuse for narcissism is baloney that theists use to pat themselves on the back. And it doesn't really work.
