Not at all. Nor have I stated anywhere here that you have to be a christian or be religious to do "good" in the world.
What you say in the latter portion is not controversial either. I grant that some atheists do live more exemplary lives than some religious people.
What I have stated very plainly is that actions speak louder than words. One form of evidence for the Christian claims can be found in the indisputable fact that Christians have done more in the service of children since its founding than any other adherents of any other worldview, be it secular or religious. This is not up for debate. The facts are there for anyone to see.
