Why do religious people think they must prevent everyone from going to hell?

Oxfam? Red Cross? I have worked at the latter and all of them were atheists and extremely moral people. In contrast most religious people I know are stingy and selfish.

Which proves nothing but that morality isn’t driven by religion. That statement is even more surprising considering how shocking the Middle Ages were and even now large parts of the Muslim world!

There have been times, I would say right now as well, where I have questioned what I believe. But let me assure you my morals haven’t changed. I am still old me who believes in fairness and respect to everyone.

I have never thought hey I have to be nice to someone because it says so in Islam, I always have been like that to people because of who I am and because its common decency.

To say atheists are immoral beings or lack the same morality is the same as when atheists call Muslims terrorists.

Illogical.

Both Oxfam (set-up by Quakers - Theists) and Red Cross (set-up by Calvinists - Theists) hire a multitude of people … I didn’t say atheists aren’t morally driven - I said and will rephrase that if you put the best of the theists and the best of the atheists - morally higher ground will be with the theists for obvious reasons … it is because atheists will always look for personal benefit whereas theists can do things for no foreseeable benefit of their own because they believe in an afterlife.

I also said the worst of the people will number from both sides … but not the best …
