Re: Chairty
Well, it's harder for atheists to take credit for things because the only thing atheists share is their non-belief in god(s). The athesits that participate in charities don't do it because they are atheists and i bet that for lots of them, atheism is not really that important. Most of them would take credit as a person, not as an atheist(or as a non-beliver in fairies). It seems more logical to make a secular organisation (like those that exists already).

Re: Chairty
What i meant is that we already have non-religious charities. (Unicef and stuffs like that). It's just that when an atheist will create a charity, he will only reference what they do, not what they don't believe in because it wouldn't make sense to say:"atheist organisation for children", they would just say:"organisation for children". Whereas a religious one will usually reference his beliefs to gain converts.
