I don't know how loved i would feel if I Christian helped me only because he is supposed to, because Christ tells Christians to.
I would feel much more loved from a act of kindness from someone who did it because they searched their heart and knew it to be right, who did the kindness without thinking twice, and without thinking about receiving some kind of spiritual paycheck in eternity.
So, atheists that do acts of kindness are sometimes far more loving than the Christians that know that they are supposed to do so, but do it for a future reward, or because they have to.
I'm unsure why we would even ask such a question, though. Everyone does things that are altruist or selfish or self gaining, Christian and non.
What's is sad is that Christians know that they should be altruistic, but often, aren't. This is far more sad than an atheist that claims that there is no God, and sees no need to be altruistic.
I am often quite impressed by my atheist aquaintances and friends.
