Not at all on both counts. She is, however, lying to herself. As a devout atheist I have donated a lot of my time to driving veterans to doctor's appointments, food shopping, special events... I've done these things because I like to think of myself as a good person. Your friend works at the homeless shelter for the same reason.

If she thinks she's doing charitable work because there's a god somewhere, yes, it's a lie, but it's a lie she can live with.
There is an ALLLL-knowing, ALLLL-powerful, inVISible being who is everywhere, who created the WHOLE universe, who lives in another dimension called heaven, who is perfect in every way, who was never born and will never die, and who watches you every minute of every day (even when you're squeezing one out on the toilet). There are also unicorns, leprechauns, Santa Claus, an Easter Bunny, and a giant purple people eater.

JUST BELIEVE IT!
