It's a load of crap because it buys into that strange phenomenon I've noticed a few times, the notion that Christianity has some kind of monopoly (patent pending!) on morals and ideals that happen to be contained in Christian teachings. HM is dead on.

No. It doesn't remain. It never was, it's a figment of your fucking worldview without the slimmest shred of evidence or logic behind it. In fact, it's a big fucking insult to a lot of very hard working, dedicated people that don't feel that they need some deity looking over their shoulder to make some serious sacrifices for the good of others.
I've seen plenty of self-proclaimed Christians who do nothing to help the less fortunate. Most people do fuck all to help others, irrespective of religion. I've also met both religious and non-religious people that do dedicate their lives to helping others. Religion really has little or nothing to do with it. Except that most if not all Christian aid 'charities' make sure that that daily bread only comes after your prayers whereas others are more worried about helping than indoctrinating desperate, deeply vunerable people with their agenda.
