Could a belief in God somehow drain some of the good in the world?

I just watched a few minutes of Christian television. In the episode, a man was talking about how he had fallen on hard times and had no way of buying Christmas gifts for his three young children.

After explaining that God must have been aware of his problems and sent some miracles his way, he went on to list these miracles: A neighbor had brought over a box of old toys, a friend was giving away a kids’ bike, etc.

To me, these are acts of kindness. They’re admirable and should inspire everyone to be charitable. If you believe that all the good in your life is God’s doing, do you lose some admiration for your fellow humans?
