Until you realize that even churches themselves state that typically six per cent or less of religious giving is charitable.
If you factor that in to 'charitable giving as a whole', then secularists are doing more than fine with their propensity to be charitable.
> As much as secularists like to fall into the ego trap of hating on religious institutions, once you separate out the dogma, there's probably a lot to learn from them in terms of fostering desirable behavior like charitable giving.
I sense a certain hypocrisy there. It's an ego trap to hate on religion, but religious folk have the upper hand and "much to teach" about charity? (Which, as previously stated, is a highly suspect argument foundation).
