Atheists, even though you dont believe in God, please spare a thought for those less fortunate this Christmas.... [Spirituality & Religion]

If you see a poor person dont let them suffer if you can help them. Even just buying them a sandwich could count for a lot, a small gesture will really improve their day.

My religious shelter I went to one time wasn't the only one who did this:

You know, when I was living in another city and lived with a psycho so I ended up having to leave, I ended up at a Christan homeless shelter. I have a good family and I could have gone home but decided it was worth a try to find a job so I could go to school

Turns out it's a cult. The people who were at that shelter have been there for seven years. You have to go to three prayer meetings a day, if you miss even one, you are kicked out.

I asked "well if I can't find time to take the bus and go to job interviews, do you help find me a job?"

I actually got scoffed at, like quite literally.

Later I looked up the reviews and they do operate as a cult. One reviewer said that a couple of sermons were quite mean and the reviewer was Christian lol.

So why don't you tell your fellow religious people those things?

I'd give anything for secularism to take over where religion has no business in anything.
