I'd just like to point out that Bill Gates is an atheist, and he's giving more to charity than the entire universe. So there goes your "average atheist donations statistic" everybody.
And atheism is not a religion. There is no prayer, no salvation, no community, no afterlife, no churches, nothing. I believe in nothing and I have faith in nothing, not even science. At any given point in history, most of science was wrong and it's always improving. So I accept current science, but realize it's not the truth and can be improved, and I'm fine with that. I wouldn't call that faith in science. Science has given me many good things, so it has earned my trust. Faith has not done this for me. Like Mr. Gervais, I choose to be nice because I feel I don't have time not to. I don't get to be a jerk and then repent later. I live with my own actions, choices, and responsibilities, and I don't believe that any amount of prayer will make up for any bad things I've done. So I like to be nice. Most people do, no matter what they may or may not believe in.
No offense to religious folks. I don't care what anybody believes in. If religion makes you a better person, more power to you. If religion makes you feel superior than others, "you're doing it wrong."
@OT, interesting way he learned about it. I hadn't heard of anybody finding out like that before. That's kinda funny. Music and editing were absolutely horrible though.
