Answer 1

UK

Answer 2

Well, I don't think many atheists or agnostics belong to an organized "church". Therefore, the way they feed children and care for the poor would be through either non-religious organizations or maybe local churches that use volunteers that do not belong to the church.

I'm not sure whether you're trying to imply that atheists/agnostics do not do humanitarian work or not...If you're trying to make the point that people who are "godless" do not help out the needy, then you are severely misinformed and pretty ignorant.

Answer 3

we've a nutrients pantry in our city, it fairly is administered via volunteers quite often from our area churches. however the close by companies additionally make a contribution and have nutrients drives. those comparable people additionally be valuable you help with different needs besides, consisting of offering outfits, figuring out to purchase utilities and getting scientific centers whilst mandatory. If somebody needs a house, that too is dealt with in somewhat some procedures, although that's not a great subject here.

Answer 4

Shriner's serve the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine's charitable arm. It is a men's fraternity rather than a religion or religious group. Its only religious requirement is indirect: all Shriner's must be Masons, and petitioners to Freemasonry must profess a belief in a Supreme Being (agnosticism).

Answer 5

I know atheists and agnostics in my squadron here in Alaska who help with shelters that feed the poor and care for them. I have known atheists and agnostics who adopt children, thus feeding and caring for them. (Okay, it's a little backwards to your question, but still...)

The ability to act on compassion is not the sole provenance of those with religious beliefs. The idea that it is has been perpetuated for far too long.

Answer 6

Are you somehow under the delusion that atheists and agnostics do not support public charities, or have charitable foundations of their own?

Just because they don't slap a huge "WE'RE DOING THIS IN THE NAME OF OUR GOD" sign on their hospitals, universities, food banks, and charities doesn't mean that they don't exist.

If you're trying for "Look at how much more charitable Christians are than non-believers" you're only deluding yourself.

Edited to add - Fine.

Atheist Centre of India
The Atheist Centre was founded in 1940 by the Gora family, who were associated with Ghandi and the nationalist movement for freedom. They provide counseling, are fighting against the caste system and for the abolition of child marriages, helping ex-prostitutes, and protecting widows from inhumane customs. They also dispell superstitions by scientific demonstrations, and are asked to calm witchcraft hysterias. They provide sex education and family planning, are carrying on a rural development program, and have a center for free cornea grafting operations which is giving sight to the blind.

Furthermore, humanist organizations such as the International Humanist and Ethical Union at
http://www.hivos.nl/
have been cooperating with the U.N. in promoting global human rights and social progress. Several people named Humanists of the Year by the AHA (American Humanist Association) at
http://www.humanist.net
have been leaders in the U.N. and/or helped draft human rights documents.

Considering our small numbers and the fact that atheism has not had 2,000 years to get organized, I don't think we are doing too badly.
