It seems to me tht id Christians want the quake survivors in Haiti to hear the Bible's message they'd do better to follow the advice in the Bible itself--give the folks the practical help they need to put their lives back together, and then, if asked, explain how their faith inspired them to do this. Hopefully with the words of their own mouths, not some silly gadget.
Similar advice would well serve Dawkins. Give the aid with no strings, then when asked why, say, "Because this life is all we have and I can't bear to see my fellow humans spend it in suffering." Because I suspect that's why most atheists who do such things do them.
