I'm fairly publicly an atheist and I *hate* the atheist trope about how atheists help people whole Christians just pray to a fictional god and don't do anything. The opposite is very literally true. Christians tend to put their money and effort where their mouths are in real ways. Not all, but more than enough. Atheists..... Don't. I wish they did, but I know hardly any atheists who even have strong roots in their communities, let alone do stuff like foster or adopt kids, start food banks and hospitals, run orphanages, set up private schools, etc. Religious people in the US, to their credit, actually do most of that stuff.
