188. This is not a measure of how "giving" either atheist or religious doctors are. |

It's a measure of how many of them express their "giving" through their work.
Many doctors may not have a lot of control over that. But at the same time any of either these atheists or religious doctors may volunteer countless hours of their personal time in working with the poor, either in a medical capacity or in some other way.
This "study" really doesn't tell us much of anything. But it certainly is funny how much the frothing anti-religion fundamentalists here were ready to pounce all over the study without even applying a critical eye.
....or reading all of it I'll wager, since later on it talks about how 70% of atheists are less charitable as part of the same study.
