But in an evolutionist interpretation of history, how would such altruism come about in the first place?
Looks like another found their way home

Well, unless they understand nature herself as the source of both intelligibility and moral order (like the Stoics or Aristotle).
It's a more difficult case to make if you have a hard materialism (like the Epicureans or Hobbes), but it can still be made.
The main difficulty for contemporary atheists is that they also want to do away with any normative sense of the natural.
If this is sincere, blessings to her. I’m a recent convert
to Catholocism at a later age. However an “atheist blogger”
with a photo of her in radio gear? She could be looking for
a project.Maybe write about her “experiences” and have more
material to blog about, go on the radio, etc.
Pardon me, but, well, we’ll see..
SInce probably half or so of self-described Catholics are practical atheists, she should feel right at home.
Ha, ha .. good attempt to slam catholics but your jabs missed the mark. Like so many other converts, she made her way into the Catholic Church through reasoning.
If you were half as committed to the truth as you are proud, you’d be able to acknowledge the truth of the assertion (if not the actual ratio) without a knee-jerk reaction.
“the others-the 98% of us just want to live our lives and it’s not worth the drama to bring it up to you...”
And yet, on a Catholic owned, staunchly pro-God website, on a thread specifically about an atheist who has converted to Christianity...you bring it up. Perhaps your heart seeks more than you realize?
87.29 % of all statistics are made up on the spot.
I should have simply said, "she ought to feel right at home" or something like that.
for someone to call it a "slap at Catholics" is childish.
