When some atheists rant about the evils tangentially related to Christianity, somehow forget to mention any of the goods specifically mandated by my religion like care for poor, widows, orphans, and the sick.
And our point is that the charity you seem dead set on only focusing on is not a religious act, but a human one, and one that would be happening, christianity or no. Meanwhile, the "tangential" evils are often directly inspired by christianity. Helping people is a human thing, but you wouldn't have anyone killing in the name of the christian god, without the christian god.
I don't think you'd find an atheist here who wouldn't acknowledge the good christian people have done. We just know where that comes from.
