Secularists Talk the Walk but do not Walk the Talk

The data show that if two people — one religious and the other secular — are identical in every other way, the secular person is 23 percentage points less likely to give than the religious person and 26 points less likely to volunteer.

Religious liberals are 19 points more likely than secular liberals to give to charity

Religious conservatives are 28 points more likely than secular conservatives

In other words, religious conservatives (who give and volunteer at rates of 91 percent and 67 percent) appear to differ from secular liberals (who give and volunteer at rates of 72 percent and 52 percent) more due to religion
