Christians will often brag that the data shows that people who go to church akshully are the most charitable. And - on a very superficial level - they are correct. But the reality is that most of that “charitable giving” is paying for the pastor’s salary, church upkeep, denominational support, sending the youth group on a “mission trip” to Belize, etc. In the data that’s all lumped in with “charitable giving”. Their levels of giving to help the unhoused, feed the poor, help out single moms with new babies… it’s basically zero. At least for your typical white evangelical, certainly other religions are better on this than others.
