ATHEISTS ARE THE MOST GENEROUS – EVEN WITHOUT HEAVENLY REWARD!
“Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven…” (Mark 10:21)
“Any charity you give is for your own good. Any charity you give shall be for the sake of GOD. Any charity you give will be repaid to you…” (Koran 2:272)
“Charitable behavior gets big perks in the afterlife, according to Christian and Islamic theology. Philanthropy, in these creeds, is a…profitable long-term investment, a down payment on... immortality.”
“But atheists? No heaven awaits them.” Yet, “atheists, non-believers, secular humanists, skeptics—the godless have emerged in recent years as inarguably the most generous benefactors...”
To the surprise of many, current and past atheist philanthropists include Warren Buffett, Bill and Melinda Gates, George Soros, and Andrew Carnegie.

Yes it is true! Atheists are generous without a promise of a reward. Thanks for the article link.

But atheists don't usually use all caps. Or think that their post is more likely to be read just because the title is in all caps.
