I never said that it was.
But would you please name me an Atheist based charity group?
The Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science Atheist Community of Austin There's two. That is two, indeed. By comparison I can say that as a microcosm, every denomination in just the city of Baton Rouge has the same, food bank, soup kitchen, clothes for the poor, shelters for the homeless, free pharmacy and the list goes on. In my small rural area there are six. We’re talking a sixty mile radius, for reference.

Nobody is arguing against the good work that Christian organizations do, or the benefits that religion brings to believers, but it's wrong to say that religion is the only source of aid for the needy or that it takes religion to care.

Who so much as even implied that? Let’s see your atheist list of benevolence while we’re at it here.

I'm posting on the phone so I can't quote relevant information at the moment. I'll just mention that we have many government programs to aid those in need.

Our government is secular yet it shows greater benevolence toward the needy than many theocracies.....I gave a comparison between the Nordic states and several theocracies earlier.

I quit reading this thread several pages back . I wonder if the Zoroastrian delegation that took a dangerous journey to pay homage Jesus after his birth would be considered Christian. I think this label Christian is denied some who really have understood who was this Jesus, and who realize(d) he was a prophet and teacher with a message direct from God. Also I believe the label Christian has been applied to millions that are headed out through the wide gate and broad way. By Jesus own words there will be few that find the way.
Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
Jesus: "Take heed that no man deceive you."

Surely Australia has some well known benevolent atheist organizations that continually serve their fellow man? Must be many, too many to name, perhaps? perhaps

Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?

.. I wonder if the Zoroastrian delegation that took a dangerous journey to pay homage Jesus after his birth would be considered Christian. I think this label Christian is denied some who really have understood who was this Jesus, and who realize(d) he was a prophet and teacher with a message direct from God.. Not aware of the Zoroastrians recording any such child/birth event, or recording that any such delegation was sent. and Matthew is the only gospel with such narrative. So since it seemed so little worth mentioning, it could be fabricated by the anoymous author of Matt.

Secular means not affiliated with religious or spiritual organizations....which means that their motivation is not related to religion.

Nor their astronomers recording the alleged star over Bethlehem.
