Yes, I am ignorant of that fact. Could you name a few out of the millions.
Me. I work 2 days per week for free, volunteering to help people in my community. In fact, I go to work in 45 minutes for the rest of the day. I have been doing this for over 4 years. I am an atheist.
How many of your fellow atheists join you?
I'm an atheist and I go to church. I haven't gone lately because of work, but I do attend. Our children participate in a "Coming of Age" program, and part of that program is doing xyz hours of community service. We do "Hot Dogs for the Homeless" every other week.
That is commendable. Are you raising your children to be atheists if I may ask?
I'm raised them to think for themselves. My son, the oldest, considers himself to be Christian. However, my daughter I believe is agnostic. I believe in a free and responsible search for truth and meaning;
One thing I do know is that many public schools have organizations in which the students do volunteer and charity work--this includes public elementary, middle and high schools as well as community colleges and universities. As well, countless non-religious, non-profit organizations are centered around charity and volunteer programs, exist for such purposes only.Millions of people who are not religious or Christians do volunteer work. Where on earth did you get the idea this is just something Christians do? What amazing ignorance you show.

One program that is in international high schools, the IB program, has as part of its curriculum a service program in which students to do charity and volunteer work. These public and private, non-religious, schools instill the idea of public service in young people, and those young people continue to do such volunteer work throughout their lives--completely unrelated to religion and religious entities.
The idea that public service, charity and volunteer work is restricted to religious entities is highly, highly ludicrous.
You are the dork that keeps restricting volunteer work to religious entities, not me. At least you finally named a program. May I ask where the public schools get the funding for this admirable program?
