No. That's the point. You don't have any figures. You're making up stuff that fits your very specific worldview. Period. There is absolutely zero evidence that people of faith help other people more or less than atheists. Nada. Null. Zip. Zero. That's the point. I don't think it's rare at all, most of the people I know that have done work in some truly horrible hellholes are very certain that god clearly has taken one serious hiatus or must utterly love suffering.

And why do you think that is?
I'll post your a friend's anthropology dissertation if you want. People used to think storms were when the gods were angry too. Religion evaporates as society progresses.
