Oh yeah.  It's generally the defense that's brought up based on the surprising fact that on average two things most dictate how much you give to charity.

How conservative you are... and how religious you are.

On average an Religious Conservative is going to give way more money, donate way more time to charity, donate more blood, and everything else... then a Democratic Atheist. 

The actual religion doesn't seem to matter so much as how observant you are... the more observant you are... the more you donate.  This is true even when you eliminate donations to nonsecular orginizations.


On average being the important thing to mention... because there are plenty of atheists who do a lot for charity... it's just there are a lot who don't.

Still, aren't conservative religious people more likely to be opposed to social programs, public education, public healthcare etc.?
