First, some facts to enlighten your misunderstanding:
1) The "peacekeepers" you mention are not peacekeepers. They are US and UK soldiers.
2) The US and UK soldiers are not all christian.
3) Non-catholics have contributed money to feed and house thousands that were victim to Katrina. Non-christians do pay taxes to the government which has redistributed this money to the victims of Katrina
4) non-religious taxpayers pay taxes every year to the government, do they get a thank you note?
5) You claim that satanists or devil-worshipers burned down churches. Please provide the evidence.
6) Do you really think satanists or devil-worshipers spray paint 666 on the side of churches? Have you considered this was done by rebellious christian teenagers?
7) I am an unbeliever, and I am condemning evil doers, including those that bear false witness like you.

I was unaware of churches being burned by Satanists. A google search only turned an article on World Net Daily. Not a very reliable source in my opinion.
I don't approve of arson for ANY reason. I don't care if these kids burned the church because they were Satanists or if this is their idea of a joke.
I also did not approve of the burning of black churches.
I also do not approve of vandalising Synagogues.
I also do not approve of bombing abortion clinics or gay bars.
Get the picture ?
I also take everything that World Nut Daily publishes with several grains of salt.
Also, what do you mean "Christian Peacekeepers" trying to end the war that "Muslims" started. The 9/11 suicide fliers were mostly from Saudi Arabia. How EXACTLY is attacking Iraq going to end the "war" started by a handful of Saudi Terrorists, and when did the military start requiring all of it's members to be Christian ?
edited to add: I am curious as to EXACTLY how you know who did and who did NOT get a thank you ? Did you interview each and every Katrina victim that was housed and or fed by the Catholic church ? Did each and every one of the tell you that they took the food and shelter and never said "Thank you" ? Did you interview each and every person connected with this effort, and did each and every one of them tell you that not ONE person that they helped say "Thank you" ? Unless you did, you are bearing false witness. There's a commandment against that in your religion.

"But I never see unbelievers bashing or insulting the satanists or Devil worshippers that burn down churches or spray paint 666 on the side of churches.
[...]
"Notice how the unbelievers will never condemn the evil doers? "
Do you not pay attention? Our condemnation comes in the form of due process. You know? Arrest, trial, conviction, prison sentence.
Last I heard, there were non-Xian members of the "peacekeeping" forces.
There are many non-religious organizations assisting victims Katrina and other disasters. They gladly took my donations. BTW, since when do Xians require - or even desire - outward recognition of their good works? You might want to check the hypocrisy level there.
ADDENDUM
Regarding your lack of recognition of the other donors to the cause, a few numbers:
-BIll and Melinda Gates Foundation (A noted ATHEIST, BTW) $37.2M to rebuild libraries
-W.K. Kellogg Foundation: $36.3M
-Lilly Endowment: $30 million to Red Cross, etc
-Ford Foundation: $28.4 to various organizations
-Chevron Corp: $26M
-Starkey Laboratories: $25M
-Exxon Mobil Corp.: $24M
-Robert Wood Johnson Foundation: $18M for healthcare
-Boeing Co.: $7.3M
Lose the self-delusion and the persecution complex.

If someone burns down a church, I will not condone their acts, any more than I condone any act of arson, whatever their religion. However, I have never seen or heard anything about sanatic church burnings, or spray painting 666 on the walls, so what am I meant to "bash" or "insult"?
Of course we condemn "evil doers". We lock up murders, theives, rapists, fraudsters.
Your question is built on lies.

How many multiples of the $50 Million were squandered by the Catholic Church? In LA, many times more was paid out for priest's problems with their sexuality. If they could pay that much because they like to abuse children, wouldn't a disaster warrant billions of dollars?
The Bible is a book of fiction. You have been led around by con artists your entire life and wasted both cash and time on...nothing.
Evil does are bad. Your bronze age mythology has nothing to do with evil doers or the 21st century.

Christians are not the only ones over there trying to keep the peace in the Middle East. It isn't only Christians who have helped with the homeless due to the Hurricane Katrina (COG - Covenant of the Goddess donated money, clothes, food, etc..... as well as other Pagan organizations).
Now, all of the churches in my area are still standing. The last Church burning I even heard of was in the south and was directed more at the RACE of people who were in the church and not the religion itself. I don't agree with attacking anyone physically (or their places of worship, their homes).... But what I would like to point out is that you try to make it seem like Christians are the only one's who are trying to maintain peace while everyone else is at war. Either you are blind.... or you're willfully lying... in either case, you should be aware that people everywhere, no matter what their religion, strive for peace among their neighbors (whether it's on your street or we're talking nations). What I notice most is people like you, online with strangers, generalizing in such a way to make everyone else who is not part of your religion out to be horrible people. To me, this just makes you out to be as bad as those you complain about.... though you don't attack physically, you do so verbally and with propaganda, lies, slander to try to make your religion look good..... when all I have to do is turn on the TV to see Christians blowing up Abortion Clinics with Doctors and others inside while screaming "thou shalt not kill". Should I then generalize all Christians based on that? That alone would make your "peace keepers" look like nothing...............

Satanist and devil worshipers burning down churches? I have yet to hear this, I think you may be bending the truth.. Seeing that there are very few real devil worshipers I would imagine this does not happen very often. Why should I take blame for their actions? You might as well also apologize for their actions.

I condemn anyone who does hurtful things, particularly in the name of religion. Killing people for not believing in your god, (which Christians have a LONG history of doing) is a worse crime, in my opinion, than burning down or vandalizing a place of worship, though even that is outrageous. You can look at the war in the Middle East however you'd like, but the parallels between this war and the Crusades are glaringly obvious.

Satanists would never do such a thing. You obviously don't know what the word means.
Arson is wrong, but so is a lot of what christians do in the name of their religion.
Let's make a deal: You promise me that nobody ever gets hurt by your religion again, and I'll never discuss it again.
In the meantime, more americans are killed every year by christian opposition to medical progress than by terrorists.
Read Letter to a Christian Nation if you want to understand how harmful your religion is.

You don't see it, but that doesn't mean it isn't happening. As a chrtistian you believe in something you can't see so why don't you doubt it is true?
I don't see you mentioning all the aid performed by non-believers either. You are painting the secular world to be a very bleak place and that simply isn't true.
