While I am an atheist I've always found such statements to be flawed.
Part of the reason for having a church is to inspire those who attend, to lift up their spirits, and to have a place they can join together to worship god. Even my cold heart has been impressed with some of the great chruches and I can see how they would inspire the faithful.
Remember it is the saving of souls that matters to a Christian church, not feeding children. If you feed every hungry child on the planet but save no souls you have failed utterly.
