Religious people volunteer more time.

We know the religious are also far more likely to volunteer. Among Americans who have volunteered within the last year, three quarters belong to a religious organization, one quarter do not. https://www.philanthropy.com/article/Rel...ore/153973

Seems like a person's worldview does impact his/her actions. Hmm. 

I find your chart compelling, but Khemikal's earlier statements got me thinking: the volunteer stats do seem awry. I mean, what's up with that? It seems as far as volunteer work, atheists are doing more than their fair share.

Also this:

According to Pew Research center, 36% of people who seldom/never attend church are "absolutely certain" in their belief of God... an additional 24% of the seldom/never crowd are "fairly certain" of their belief. That means that 60% of your stingy non-church goers are avowed theists. Even the remaining 40% atheists share with unsure believers and the like.

On one hand, such a distinction is a good way to weed out "cultural christians" from genuine believers. On the other hand, it lumps them into "our" category and possibly hurts our numbers.
