26. Conservatives give more money to churches. They consider that "charity"
Really.

A lot of the money that is counted as going to "charity" is actually going to churches. Some of that is funneled to charity. Some of it pays the pastor and church workers, some goes to overseas or domestic missions to get new members, some of it goes to build new buildings (buy new choir robes and hymnals, etc.).

I wouldn't include most of that as "charity".
