If by spiritual reasoning you mean just because, then you are correct. If I accept god as being real when there is no evidence to support his existence, I might as well also accept that every other thing in the world for which there is no evidentiary support also exists. I might as well start believing that unicorns live in my closet and that leprechauns throw nightly parties under my bed.
And how much do you know from "first hand" experience?

Also its not really saying much since some christians seem to give to charity for the wrong reasons. Reasons like: because they are scared of going to hell. Whereas everyone else will give money to charity because they honestly want to help.
Another reason Christianity donates to charity so much: Christianity is filthy stinking rich! Do you know how much the Vatican is worth alone? A helluva lot, thats the answer.
Another reason christians CLAIM to give more to charity than non-religious people do: A lot of christians seem to think that donating to their church's building fund (or the priest's new car fund, or whatever) is charity. Since that money doesn't help people in actual need, it does not qualify as charity in my book.
I shouldn't even waste a breath on you 2...
but... I believe "OVERWHELMINGLY CHRISTIAN" was used in this wiki post...
