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.

I think like many of the other comments I don't know why you feel like you have to single out atheists as though they'd never think by themselves to do good.

Twice in my life I was active in the church. Twice I stopped when I first hand witnessed the amazing hypocrisy within those organisations.

I do my bit to help some and I do it throughout the year not to tick some box once a year ensuring my eternal life. I don't believe in that I do it because I'm a humanist.

Maybe they witnessed your hypocrisy as well@SW-User

@Speedyman they probably did although hypocrisy isn't one of my major failings. I'm only a failed human being and am far from perfect.

Same with all of us. That is why we need a saviour. We are all broken and imperfect human beings. @SW-User

@Speedyman I don't believe in an after life. I don't believe any religion has exclusivity on finding enlightenment within this life. It would be too arrogant of me to say there is no God but I certainly don't believe God is as depicted within Christianity.

So with respect save your evangelism for someone who might need it.
