The thing about atheism is that no good or evil has been done in the name of it. People who happen to be atheists have done much good and much evil.
Atheism is an opinion on ONE thing - the existence of deities.
Fortunately there are many Secular charities doing much good in the world. Personally I do fundraising for Doctors without Borders and the Fred Hollows Foundation, when time permits.

It was also Christians who spearheaded the abolition movement to end slavery in the U.S. and in Great Britain. Oberlin College, for example, was founded by two Christian Ministers to train young clergymen for the abolition movement. It's second president was evangelist Charles Finney who tutored one of the most famous of American abolitonists, Theodore Weld.
Also, it was Christians who founded some of this nation's greatest universities like Harvard, Yale, and Brown, i.e....Johnathan Edwards who was attributed to sparking the First Great Awakening in the colonies was one of Yale's presidents, as was his grandson, Timothy Dwight who sparked the Second Great Awakening in the East when America was expanding Westward.
The Evangelist Billy Sunday also publically supported a woman's right to vote.
Christians have always been active in missionary efforts to help feed, clothe, and bring medical care and education to the poor. /hide]
