Interesting. The surrounding villages feel "'The Awra Amba community doesn't have any spiritual beliefs -- not a mosque or a church,' says Abraw Argew, a farmer from a neighboring Christian village. 'This makes them selfish. I hate the people of Awra Amba.'"

Why would not having any religion make them "selfish"? Especially in light of the fact that they "care for one another" in a physical and economic sense?
