Chairity wont allow atheist to help.

[Mister Agenda]

the 'soup kitchen' was simply being their normal christian self in this case, which i would expect.

Despite the impression we may get from our vistiors, not all Christian organizations are like this.

By way of anecdote, I used to volunteer at a Methodist charity, the Bethlehem Community Center. I was one of only a couple of male volunteers. One day the director asked me if I would be a Scout Master and start a scout troop at the community center. I had to explain that I'm not allowed to be a Scout Master as the Boy Scouts don't accept Scout Masters who are atheists. She was disappointed, and they never did get their troop, but she never said boo to me about being an atheist.

It's not so much that Christians are nasty people, but being a Christian seems to be no barrier to being a nasty person, and since the nasty people of any group tend to shoot their mouths off, they create an impression that often isn't really representative of the people they claim to speak for. For every Landrum there's probably at least ten who wouldn't dream of being hostile to someone just because they're an atheist.

But since most christians don't seem to be reasonable, well who knows?

Interestingly you're lying by omission by posting this definition, as it's unlikely it was the first hit on your search. My google search had it at third. The first was:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lie#Lying_by_omission
Also known as a continuing misrepresentation, a lie by omission occurs when an important fact is left out in order to foster a misconception. Lying by omission includes failures to correct pre-existing misconceptions. When the seller of a car declares it has been serviced regularly but does not tell that a fault was reported at the last service, the seller lies by omission. It can be compared to dissimulation.

You probably skipped this one because, if one has no intention of proselytizing, then their beliefs are not important to volunteering at a soup kitchen.

I may have to give you back some integrity points and start going with honest impairment. The bolded part? People in the USA and especially people like Landrum assume you're a Christian unless you tell them otherwise. That's a pre-existing misconception. Failure to correct it in a situation where it's relevant is exactly a lie of omission, as your preferred definition clearly shows.
