"You actually ask everyone you meet if they are atheist or not? But at any rate, atheists are a minority so it isn't surprising that you wouldn't have met any, especially the ones that advertise the fact."

No, but on Habitat for Humanity build sites there are morning and afternoon prayers. I would think that an atheist would have the integrity to stand aside during those prayers. I have not seen anybody who did not participate.

So, either the atheists there were total hypocrits, or there wasn't any.

Maybe they're just polite?

I am a polytheist myself and totally agree with you on several divergent levels.

I think it's a pretty sad outlook on people if one thinks that some humans believing something differently than one aren't as human as oneself is.
Chevy owners suck because they think Chevy is better than Ford (or Toyota or whatever).:roll:

"Would you have any supporting data for that claim? Or is it just your opinion?"

I could, if it wasn't so obvious. Let me ask you, thogh, can you name any city that has an ATHEIST Hospital? I could name any number that has St. Joseph, St. Mary's, etc.

As well, in all my mission trips since 1993, mostly with Habitat for Humanity, I have NEVER met an atheist. But, of course, that is only anecdotal evidence.

I am also willing to bet that very few of the people in Haiti, who are there to help are atheists.

"Interesting, which affiliate of HFH are you with?"

Presently, none, because of my health I can no longer allows me to do physical work.

But from 1993 to 2007 I was a yearly regular - one or two weeks - on the Homestead, Florida site for Habitat for Humanity, Greater Miami chapter.

I was also involved with the Ed Schryer Project in Canada from 1997 to 2002.

I hope this answers your question.
