A bigoted opinion. It is common around here, not a surprise.
I know individuals that have sacrificed years of their lives to help others, in christian humanitarian groups, other countries, in thier own country, soup kitchens feeding the homeless, battered womens homes, elderly care volunteers, etc.etc. I am humbled by the compassion and generosity of most of these caring people. I "know" some of these people. The ones I know are genuine, generous loving people.
I am not saying all christians are like this, indeed I also know some real twits, even ones like you have described. But I also know muslims who are no different. The people that I know that commit thier lives to helping others offer freely what they have, including their faith. They do not force it on anyone.
It is certainly not required to accept thier faith to receive their help as you are implying.
It may be difficult to believe that people would be this generous if one is less than generous themself.
but this is how
some of them operate...
Good to see that you may have an open mind, I might have been wrong about you...
