Can you name any moral deed or act that a Christian can do that an Atheist can’t ?

The greater the Faith the more dependence on a Living God.

You have that the wrong way around. Atheists look at the evidence so would believe in a creator if there were evidence that one exists. The fact is, despite christians' claims they have proof of their god, the fact remains that no one has managed to present any real evidence to support that view. As christians believe in their god in spite of the absence of any evidence, it's unlikely they would consider any contrary evidence. In fact, many of them reject out of hand anything that even casts the slightest doubt on their beliefs.

@NortiusMaximus you are speaking of only tangible evidence seen with eye or with equipment. creator is far more than anything we can imagine, there is a spiritual dimension you refuse to acknowledge and is intangible

The Holy Bible itself states that God requires Faith. So for your statement to be true it would have to be some other god that you would visibly see.

That's not evidence, it's just an illusion.
