Chairity wont allow atheist to help.

Reading further, there's a dispute about whether the atheist group demanded to wear their logo:

Landrum told 7 On Your Side, the Upstate Atheists were adamant about wearing their group's t-shirts and that the message goes against what the organization stands for in the bi-laws. Landrum says the group would be welcomed any day - as long as they weren't wearing the t-shirts with the atheist message.

"All I want to say is that, don't try to hurt this ministry, because they want to be here 1 day, we operate 365 days a year, so any negative publicity will only hurt this ministry," Landrum said of the backlash of the situation. She says she's received angry phone calls and facebook messages.

Brannon says the group was open to not wearing the t-shirts during the volunteering, and that the hateful comments aren't coming from its members.

Kyle Cusick, a member of Upstate Atheists, posted a comment on a GoUpstate story about the conflict saying, "I was hoping we'd not only be able to volunteer at the soup kitchen, but also to wear our Upstate Atheists shirts. Not because we are trying to 'convert' people to atheism, but because we want people to understand that atheists are not evil people …

"If we could go to places like the Soup Kitchen, volunteer our time and be openly atheist, then the world would start to understand that we can be good people. We're not trying to get you to be an atheist. We just want you to be OK with us being atheist."

But also offered not to wear anything to advertise. They do think atheists are evil otherwise they wouldn't have turned them down at all.
