Strong link found between worship attendance and religious giving

From the article:

“Giving to religion,” as defined by the Chicago-based Giving USA Foundation, includes contributions to congregations, religious media, denominations and mission organizations.

Overall, giving to religious causes amounted to close to a third of all charitable giving in 2016.

It's nice somebody's shown that the null assumption is valid. That commitment demonstrated in one kind of action tends to show up in a demonstration of a second kind of action.
