In my humble opinion, we shouldn't be arguing about this Common-sense dictates that both Religious people and Atheists can be charitable. Trust me, there are lots and lots of Atheists or Agnostics that are involved in philanthropy for humanitarian and environmental causes. What might differ most is where they spend their money and/or time on.

Perhaps, but I'll help you out by telling you that neither Bill Gates nor Warren Buffett has ever declared themselves to be atheist. That doesn't mean they are religious but atheism really needs to be self-declared. Just sayin.
