Honestly I find theists do have more love and shit
Atheists for the most part are compassionless beings
As highlighted by a thread here where a homeless atheist complains about a Christian homeless shelter
Where is the atheist homeless shelter? Hmm...

A lot of atheist-specific organizations don't exist, because atheists work with secular organizations like public homeless shelters most of the time.

I'll be whatever you want me to be baby...
Except that.
No, I won't be that.
I won't be an atheist in a place where religious people are offering their morality.
How dare they spout their theist morals upon me.
I'd rather die cold and bitter than humble myself to the morality of a theist.
Such lesser than my morality.
That being, the morality... of an atheist.

His invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.

There is no legal system in the world where that's done, because that's a moronic thing to allow to happen- and a terrible way to set up the universe.

It's still wrong. Not even Jesus really wanted to go through with such a sacrifice anyway.
