If I give a 100 because I feel empathy, or I give a 100 because I'm filming it for my social.media matters, right?
Of course, the real issue is that religion never stops at the doing good. It’s always comes.with strings attached, like supernaturalism, or creationism, or genital mutilation, or homophobia, or sexism, or whatever. There's no religion that just believes in giving and nothing else whatsoever.
Will you concede that there are people (not religions) that will believe in giving without strings attached and with no expectation of return?

People, sure.
Though even then all acts are ultimately self interested in part.
