What are Atticus' reasons for defending Tom Robinson in a case he thinks he can't win?

Some characters in the story believe that black people are below white people and deserve the horrible treatment they get. They think that Atticus should not defend Tom simply because of the colour of his skin. There is no real reason why Atticus should not defend Tom Robinson.
