Maybe. But I very highly doubt that. However...since you
know these "facts", perhaps you would be willing to share your references with the rest us. I, for one, would find that a most fascinating read.
Wait a minute...
Let's say, for arguments sake, that you have 100 people. 90 of whom consider themselves "religious", whereas the other 10 identify with atheists and agnostics. Let's say that
all of them donated to a non-profit relief fund. Of
course you could say that religious persons constitute about 90% of all non-profit relief funds, and be technically correct. You could
also say that 100% of the non-religious persons contributed to non-profit relief funds.
And of those same 100 people...if the religious ones (90% remember) are only 4 times as likely to care for the poor than their atheistic counterparts, that's pretty dismal.
