I'm unsure how any of this talk about horrid people who had commited atrocious crimes, either being religious or atheist,  is relevent or even representative of either group of people.

It's ridiculous. Really, really ridiculous.

It's just general strawmanism to avoid the general research on hand.

What research I have not seen any research presented in the original post it was just a mans ideas that he based on what he had been hearing in the media lately.

For one.  There is a lot of research on it though.  That generally finds that the biggest indicator on if you are going to give to charity or not is if you practice religion.
