Plus they'd happily execute people who may be innocent just to show that justice will be swift vs considering things like due process.What I think most christian far right fundies need.

It should be noted Utah is full of Mormons and the Mormon church requires members to pledge certain percent of their income or they cannot be members anymore.
It's pretty much a money making scam.
Most of this so called charity is money given to the church vs directly to the poor.

Three comments from the Source.

The book Who Really Cares? by Arthur C. Brooks does exactly what you asked for. Using statistics gathered from reliable sources (mostly from US government databases), Brooks shows that religious conservatives give more to non-religious charities (e.g., the Sierra Club) than secular liberals. They also give more blood, and volunteer more hours to non-religious charities.
But giving to their churches (or other religious congregations) also benefits the community. The book Soul Searching by Christian Smith with Melinda Lundquist Denton contains the largest study to date that correlates teen-agers religious involvement with various life outcomes. It shows that the more teens are engaged with their religion the less likely they are to be involved in drugs, crime, and racism, and the more likely they are to volunteer time to help others.

So much hate from the left vs. Religion, but hey what else is new? For the record, the LDS church has zero overhead and is almost always the first boots on the ground in a catastrophe anywhere in the world. There has not been a single organization in history that works at the level of efficiency and speed of the LDS church. How anyone can knock religious giving is a bigoted fool. But I guess haters are gonna hate.

I live in Provo, Utah which is the top city for giving. "Where Much is Given, I too must give." The LDS welfare service is a great example of caring for the hands that hang down. Last evening for two hours I was involved with helping a sister to help herself through a difficult time and the process of getting help from the church. I am her visiting teacher who visits her every month. The church welfare system is not without responsible stewardship for the one receiving the help. Our church is alive and healthy because of the service we give and the money which goes toward helping members and non-members. When there is a disaster, the church is there. The members are given the responsibility to use our resources to serve the world not just Provo, Utah. Thank you for having an open heart to listen to my heart. Together we will make a difference in our brother and sister's lives as we strive to be generous.

• 9 months agoIn my research, the RELIGIOUS argument is incorrect. The Mormon Church uses its contributions to fund PROSELYTIZING for more members (PONZI SCHEME, not CHARITY). Also, if this doesn't use charitable giving as a percentage of DISCRETIONARY INCOME, you are asking a family of four who earns $25,000 to give the same rate as a family who earns $250,000. Just more ways that statistics may not lie, but statisticians do!

• a year agoI would be very curious to see what those numbers would look like if you removed the religious giving from the picture. All of the first 8 have strong religious roots.

• 7 days agoNonprofits are not all the same. The NFL is actually a nonprofit. So are some Yatch Clubs. So are Yoga Studios. So if one is really going to come to conclusions about generosity, one needs to look at where giving is going. Is it going to help those in need or going to support those who are giving it (Yatch club or fancy private school).

• a year agoNearly all of the Red/Blue State difference is from church-related giving. The Northeast has the highest levels of personal (i.e., non-church) charitable giving. So this is better correlated with religiosity than actual charity.
Keep in mind that a great deal of religious giving in the Bible Belt and Mormon states is used not for charity, but for the politics of waging Culture War: anti-Choice (including clinic bombing and political murder), anti-Marriage, anti-Medicine, anti-Science, pro-Creationism, building prisons, buying weapons, harassing immigrants (mainly Spanish-speaking and Muslim), defending pedophiles in the ministry (Fundamentalist Protestant as well as Roman Catholic), and funding extremist opposition to President Obama.
Yep -- all this is done with CHURCH money. Every item I listed can be found and substantiated in about five minutes on Google.
My personal opinion on the LDS is it is indeed a pyramid scam.
In fact the LDS is what gave L Ron Hubbard the inspiration to create Scientology.
