Two Questions... Really The Same.

Question 
Two Questions... Really The Same.
If you, as a theist, were wounded on the side of the road, would you accept help from an atheist?

If you, as an atheist, were wounded on the side of the road, would you accept help from a theist?

Why or why not?

Yes. Because I don't want to fucking die and we are all human beings, we should act in a spirit of fraternity to each other even if we don't share the same belief system.

Depends on how they intend to help me.

As an atheist, yes. Furthermore, I would render what aid I could to a wounded theist. As Blackout intimated, being human trumps religious division (for me, at least).

I don't make a habit of asking people about their religious affiliations before I offer them help or accept help from them.
I mean, honestly, besides from the few extremists and fundamentalists that wouldn't help me anyways if they knew I was atheist, religion hardly ever matters. Most people's religion is a personal thing for them. It has nothing to do with me.

Of course, and were someone in need of my aid, I would not care what they believed. We're all brothers in humanity, and it'd be nice if we started acting like it.

In this hypothetical, the atheist is wearing a Fiction Tshirt, and the theist is wearing a religious Tshirt. Just so you know at a glance.

I would like to think almost everyone would say yes.
