That's ridiculous, secular people do lots of good all the time. In fact, religious people have a far greater chance of doing harm, because they sometimes believe in things like homophobia, misogynism, genital mutilation etc. If people didn't have religion to back up these evil ideas then we'd see less of them.

Any culture can be harmful and secular people can and often do good.
