The original claim was: ``The truth is Christians do have organized charities to relieve such things. Atheists don't``

LOL! It was like Hell! More of your game playing! The comments before and after make clear that the “claim” was that Mars was being dishonest by lamenting the plight of children because as an atheist he was doing nothing to prevent such suffering. The sentence you quote is an attempt by both of you to make a pretentious point through fake argument.

The fact is that atheism is a belief in the absence or non-probability of a supernatural creator. As such it does not lend itself (duh) to church organizations where Christians give their money to benefit their group interests and to buy their way into Heaven. Atheists give to both religious and secular organizations. All secular organizations reflect giving that is done--not in obedience to any god worship--but rather (more truthfully) out of a genuine concern to alleviate suffering.

“Give us an example of an explicitly Atheist Charity.”

Doctors without borders is a perfect example of a secular organization that many atheists work with donating time, effort, expertise, and money. Atheists do not have churches. They donate to secular organizations. DUH! This is no different than donating to a church other than the fact that it does not go to the aggrandisement of the church. Doctors without borders owns what? The RC Church owns what? You figure out where Christian donations are going and where atheist donations are going! Hmmm…. CHUCKLE!!
