Excuse me but DWB is a neutral organisation and does not advocate any philosophical, religous, political or otherwise worldview. They would not be classified as atheist just as they would not be described as theist. Neutral is just that and that gets them into locales where others may not practice. I would quote their preamble on their site describing their principles but my post would be wiped by administration.
Go look for yourself

I'm afraid you can't calim them as batting for your team buddy because that pidgeon is grounded. It's wings have been clipped. It is sitting on it's nest awaiting flight orders.

Photon provided an example of a non-religious orgnization that willingly gave aid and volunteers to Haiti. You then go and prove to us that indeed DWB is also a neutral and non-religious organization. You just proved his point. Photon's was showing how neutral aid organizations do not openly proselytize while many religiously affiliated organization do (although the larger mainstream ones have curbed this to an extent).
