Further proof that the scientific community is inherently biased against people of faith, particularly Christian evangelicals.

That proves it! Joe Biden is the most highly religious person in the World based on his charitable donations over the past fifty years.

This idiot conflates gullibleness and hand-outs t- which often cause more harm than good - o charity, while real charity involves giving to reputable organizations who provide actual goods and services.

In other words, she’s a clueless leftdolt...

TOTAL GARBAGE. Having lived through the tornadoes here in Alabama last April, I can tell you 100% that one of the very first groups to respond and the last to leave were the local churches. Hundreds of people from our area churches worked thousands of hours aiding people, feeding people, assisting in rebuilding homes, providing the needs for people. Total garbage. People of faith around here know that we ain’t stingy! Stupid liberals. They are only NOT stingy with other people’s money!

You may be sure that this is NOT science and the the DemonRATS and the MainSCREAM media are behind it.

In the studies they gave them hypothetical money to give away. That is what libtards do, give away other people’s money.

Do the real live money test from the tax returns and you will see the difference. What an idiotic study method!

I must confess, I am more stingy than the godless freaks I run into; I have children to feed, while they have birthday parties for their pets...

Well, just look at the charity the liberals give and decide for yourself. Liberals are the worst when it comes to help. They support a plantation to keep everyone.

Yeah, I saw this and read it and in some ways it's actually true. Take a nonreligious person and ask them to rate how much their generosity depends on their compassion and how much depends on their religious beliefs and they are going to rate their generosity entirely on compassion because (here's the kicker) THEY DON'T HAVE A RELIGION. They're atheists! Duh!.
Of course they'll point out how the liberal/progressive gave more of the "hypothetical" $10 than the religious person. Yeah, if all it took to be charitable was to sit down at a computer and play SIM Charity and give all the Sim bucks away they'd be the most freakin' charitable group on the planet. But that's not reality.

People of faith are a large majority of Americans.

Thus it is entirely expected that the majority of charity in America would be from (and often to) the religious.

The scientific community is inherently biased towards meaningful PROPORTIONAL analysis rather than a simple minded statement that most charitable giving in a nation that is majority Christian is from Christian people and to Christian founded organizations.

Do you understand proportionality?

If most people incarcerated are white - in a nation that is majority white - is that noteworthy?

Or is it more noteworthy that a population group that is some 12% of the population makes up over 30% of those that are incarcerated?

Please note they were being charitable because they were asked how they would give away other people’s money, not their own.

This is on the same level as the “studies” that show that all conservatives are less intelligent than liberals. It’s an agenda driven study to show what great people the people that did the study are and what rotten people those that they don’t like are. Kind of an expensive way to justify their “feelings” about us and nothing more. Our world is filled with nothing but junk science now days, global warming, save the whales, there are no differences between men and women, etc. It’s made the term “scientist” a joke.

First: don't think this has anything to do with the "scientific community." The article called it a scientific survey, but it's nothing more than sociology hogwash. The only thing remotely resembling science was that the silly questions and biased premises were tabulated on a "scientific" calculator.

What you end up with is statistically-accurate meaninglessness.

P.S. Sociologists like to flatter themselves that their “discipline” is a science. It’s neither.

Interesting.

So what was the sample? Who were these two groups, and what other factors came into play?

One of the reasons I no longer subscribe to many “science” publications is that the studies are often very poorly done.

They determined that those who agreed with such statements as “when I see someone being taken advantage of, I feel kind of protective of them” were more inclined to show generosity.

Oh, brilliant!

When I see someone "being taken advantage of," I think, "Why didn't his parents teach him any common sense?" and then I donate to The Salvation Army or Baptist Relief, so as to do some real good for people genuinely in need.

People have posted studies here that show religious people give far more than non religious people.

Yeah, that I don’t give money to some bum who insists on holding the Post Office door for me as opposed to a quadriplegic who works for herself.
