"It’s true that religion is the essential reason conservatives give more".

Just in case you missed it, here it is again. From the New York Times, mind you...

"It’s true that religion is the essential reason conservatives give more"

Conservatives give more than liberals, and the reason is religion.

Spence, studies aside...you really think that in this country at this time, religion makes people less charitable? Do you genuinely believe that atheism leads to greater generosity, than judeo-christian principles?

In all seriousness, that post of yours actually made me sad. I didn't know that you were that unable to think rationally when it comes to politics.
