The Christian website ''Good to those who love God'' declares:
{{cquote|Atheists believe in the evolutionary theory that everything a person does can be linked to either the drive to survive or the drive to reproduce. And they do mean everything. They believe that a child loves his mother because the mother is needed for survival; a man loves a woman because she can help him reproduce; people do good deeds because it keeps them from being killed by those who might otherwise dislike them; etc. Christians, on the other hand, do good deeds through the compassion that is taught in the Bible. Going to heaven is simply the icing on the cake.<ref>[http://goodtothosewholovegod.weebly.com/13-flaws-of-atheism.html ATHEISM'S THIRTEEN BIGGEST FLAWS]</ref>}}

== Study finds British atheists and agnostics less enthusiastic about Valentine's Day ==
''See also:'' [[Atheism and romance]]
An study done by the British website Freedating.co.uk reported about attitudes regarding Valentine's Day:
{{Cquote|Both [[Conservative Party|Tory]] and [[Labour Party|Labour]] voters are about as unromantic as you can get, beaten only by atheists and scientists...
So says our latest survey, which looked our users' attitudes to Valentine's Day - 6,878 of them in all.
We asked them to rate how important they thought the most romantic day of the year was, and combined their answer with anonymised data from their dating profiles.
Our statistician crunched the numbers, and pulled out any links between the kind of information you find in a typical dating profile, and whether or not those people were enthusiastic fans of Valentine's Day.
- Women overall are significantly more enthusiastic than men, nearly 10% so.
- A strong interest in any political party, other than the Liberal Democrats, is linked to a decreasing interest in this international day of romance.
- Whether or not men are religious is highly polarizing, with Christians and Catholics being amongst the most positive, and Atheists and Agnostics being amongst the most negative.<ref>[https://www.freedating.co.uk/politics-of-valentines.html The Politics of Valentine's Day: Survey reveals differing attitudes to Valentine's Day, based on political persuasion.</ref>}}
