That's the difference between us and you, G-C. Secular organizations don't hand out copies of "The God Delusion" to those they're assisting. There's no preaching, no sermon, no hard sell.
Here's something for you to consider. A local faith-based soup kitchen for the homeless puts a price on charity. No sermon == no soup. No secular organization that I'm aware of makes charity conditional on hearing their message - no doubt in large part because the message is "help the needy", and actions speak louder than words, or sermons.
That is not what a soup kitchen should be about, I'm against forced sermons, Christ never required it and neither should christians.
To hand out "The God Delusion" to those who are looking for hope would be counter productive, so I do not blame you for not handing it out. I do not know this for a fact but I would think nonbelievers would find handing out a book that doesn't give hope a waste of money, on the contrary christians see the Bible as a book of infinite hope.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
