That's because you're a willful, persistent equivocator; charity work should be the one avenue where no help should be turned away, least of all on such petty grounds. And I can almost guarantee you that christians would be welcomed to participate in an atheist charity drive; it's important to note that you haven't actually come up with a parallel at all, you've just looked at an atheist group and assumed they'd turn away volunteer help from christians. Frankly, that's bullshit.

Ahh, I see: so while the christian group involved is using their media attention to insult atheists and grumble about secularism, you'd rather target the atheist group who, after being turned away despite an offer of volunteering sans any representation for the group itself, opted to use the experience to raise awareness of an impromptu charity drive they would never have had to run if the christian group had been run by a good christian, and press for more donations from other atheists.
I can see how that blatant example of... collecting donations for the homeless, would seem so scummy to you.
