Here's a story:
I recently came into a bunch of food. I wanted to donate it. I heard the Salvation Army refuses to hire homosexuals, since they are religiously affiliated, so I said fuck that and went looking for another place.
All my other options were religious. Admittedly, I didn't do a week's-long investigation; I just went through the phone book because I wanted to get rid of the stuff. But I didn't find any place to accept a bunch of food that wasn't somehow affiliated with a religion, one way or another. (I ended up giving it to the Jews.)
Rob's right in a lot of ways. That is to say, I share his prejudice.
But what's up Seculars? Why don't I ever run across The Altruistic Atheists Food Bank?
