Shouldn't? Or Can't? Cause thats what i'm going to assume if you don't answer my points.
This wikipedia article doesn't count as evidence. What is needed is a survey or experiment that is published in some sort of scientific or sociological journal that has been peer reviewed. This article is merely explaining what the report found.
Quote:All this article is saying is that Christian groups get more money donated to them than any other religious group, not any other group of people in the world. Which isn't really surprising seeing as Christianity is the dominant religion in america. Please note that you don't have to be Christian to give money to a christian group, this also stands against your claim that Christians are the most charitable people in the world.
the report analyzed more than 50,000 government funding awards by the US Agency for International Development, or USAID, over 5 years of the Bush administration.[citation needed] The Globe discovered that the share of US foreign aid dollars for aid organizations that was going religious groups had doubled, from 10 percent to nearly 20 percent, totaling more than $1.7 billion. Of those funds for so-called "faith-based" organizations, 98% went to Christian groups.

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech
