I wonder if the religion-charity connection is more about generosity taught or cynicism not taught? And hopefully this isn’t reporting donations to evangelists, because that would probably mean the latter.

If you read the full article it also mentions that religious people are significantly more charitable and volunteer more than non-believers.

Take a look at a Benny Hinn rally and then decide of our huge charitable giving, which makes hucksters like him rich, is something to be proud of.
