Time Magazine published a gross misstatement by Joe Klein recently:

“funny how you don’t see organized groups of secular humanists giving out hot meals.”

Hemant Mehta did a brilliant job of detailing just SOME of the organized groups of secular humanists that have helped after disasters. But Time refuses to apologize and continues the misstatements about these not-so-faith-based volunteers.

We hear so much about faith-based volunteers, and that’s fine, but let’s remember that there are not only also lots of secular humanists and atheists that volunteer, there are ORGANIZED groups that cater especially to those people, despite what Time Magazine and Joe Klein say. Volunteering is not just a Christian thing, not just a faith-based thing, not even just an American thing  – it’s a very HUMAN thing.
