That may be your experience, but it really doesn't reflect on everyone. Most of the people who go out there and put their lives on the line are doing it because people need help. Compassion doesn't know any faith, but faithful people can be just as compassionate as anyone.

But, y'know, cheers.

If their experience can be dismissed just like that then the experiences of people that dealt with good religious people are equally dismissible.

Perhaps the problem lies in the sweeping generalizations of both sides. People are individuals, with personal motives, sometimes attached to religious words and symbols but always internal motivations fueled by their unique personalities and experiences.

Some people help after disasters out of a personal sense of compassion, framed as religion in their lives. Others help out of a personal sense of self-aggrandizement, framed as religion in their lives. In neither case is the religion explicitly to blame, but instead, the person's own motives.

All you have to do is look at the SJW on this very com to see this sort of behavior with no regards to religion.

Some people want to help the underprivileged out of compassion.

Some just want to help to get some sort of SJ brownie points and are horrid to people who don't agree with them (including those they claim to want to help).

Sorry, I don't buy that the faithful are at all compassionate, because all of my experiences have been the exact opposite; they're "compassionate" out of fear of punishment in the afterlife, not because they really enjoy helping anyone. I've tried to give religious people a fair shot, and every time I do, I'm reminded of why I don't trust them. They're some of the most toxic, manipulative people I've ever known.

and all the toxic manipulative people I know are rabid secularists, and the Christians and Muslims full of compassion and enjoy helping people.

Confirmation bias.

"rabid secularists"

Stopped reading right there. You're a fucking idiot.
