How many Atheists genuinely care for the sick, the helpless, the oppressed? those in prison? those in mental hospitals? those on their death beds with no relatives?

Answer by Kathryn B
I’m an atheist. I give regularly to UNICEF. I am a volunteer ESL tutor in my community. I’ve taken in stray animals. I’m knitting an afghan for Project Linus.

I’m faithful to my husband, I rarely drink, I don’t do drugs. I take care of the house, the dogs and the cats. My daughter is grown and is on her own.

I served in the U.S. Navy for almost five years. I have worked on the psychiatric unit of a hospital and also as a municipal county probation officer. I taught in the public schools for 12 years.

Where did you get such a negative idea about us? Have you ever met an atheist in person. We are basically pretty good, moral people, no different from anyone else.
