Maybe but look at your money collection network! Atheists give to christian charities too! I know lots of Hindus that donate to world vision which is a christian organisation! People are interested in donating if it's for a good cause like building schools or hospitals!

Churches, and the doctrines behind them, have also sent more people to those self-same hospitals than atheists ever have or ever will.
What is the worth of a hospital that works to heal what it has helped to create? Better no hospital at all.

Considering we are 3-13% ddepending on your source, and the fact that we are individuals not an organization. We have done quite alot. We don't put things like "THIS IS AN ATHEIST HOSPITAL" on the front of them like you do. UCLA is a pretty great ATHEIST hospital. One of the best in the country. As are all the other UC system hospitals.

LOL, no way.
I think what you mean is, church funding was used to BUILD hospitals so that atheists can run them and work in them.
Dont see many surgeries that use prayer as the main treatment.

Had you ever check how many atheist donated to build hospitals, even if it is for a religious group?
Arrogant.

No. Churches get a lot of money from the public. It is a business. Athiests are left to believe in what they believe on their own.

there is an old saying about churches and puritans who were greatest and strictest followers of churches " for a pub they spend 500 pounds for a church they spend 50 pounds"

If you could provide some real-world independantly verifiable statistics we could debate the matter with some degree of confidence.
If you cannot, may I assume you want people to 'take it on faith' that you are right?
