Atheists donate to charities and volunteer all the time. By definition, they don't believe in an afterlife, so they REALLY care about this one, so they really want to make the world a better place while they're still alive, and for their children. They just don't feel the need to bring their beliefs into their charity work, and name their groups after atheism and preach about atheism to the homeless. Atheists pretty much don't care what other people believe in, but don't want religion in government, and don't want to be looked down upon as immoral freaks who can never run for office.

I would agree and thank the atheists for volunteering.

I would disagree that all religious people care about is after-life.

religious people do way more for the world (this life) than atheist do.

CEO at  Red Cross makes millions

CEO at Salvation Army makes less than $50,000.  (last time I checked)

I agree that religion and government is dangerous, however, if religious group is helping  the needy, then why not have government involved when necessary?

 

I don't know about the current president of the ICRC but the previous president (until 1999) was a devout Christian.

There are very very few atheistic societies around.
