His conclusion appears drawn from the historical evidence that most relief organizations have a religious background and name. I imagine that out of the estimated one billion dollars of private dollars some significant number was donated by people who have little or no faith, even if it went through organizations that have a religious moniker. While this author takes plenty enough shots at people of faith, his main focus of attack is on his own. He comes just short of calling for an Atheist Widows and Orphans Fund.
