Help now, debate later

Fourteen groups associated with atheism have joined together to provide relief for earthquake victims in Haiti through "Non-Believers Giving Aid."

An announcement about the effort on Richard Dawkins' web site says that in addition to helping the Haitians, people who donate will be "helping to counter the scandalous myth that only the religious care about their fellow-humans."

An article in the Christian Post presents a Christian view of the atheists' program.

Such debate is better left for another day. Meanwhile, an atheist's dollar will provide just as much relief as a religious one.
