as I said the people who do those beneficial things are the type who would have done those things without religion. I know many people ( including myself ) who do not have any religion guiding them to help.

My mothers church feeds the homeless one Saturday a month and I help on that Saturday despite the fact I do not belong to the church. There are other groups that feed on the other Saturdays and they are not church groups. I also do other occasional volunteering with the other groups if they fall short and need help without religious bases for the help.
