What is Reddit's opinion of American Grace: How Religion Divides and Unites Us?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I read up on it nearly 13 years ago so I don't remember all the stuff I looked into at the time. However, it came up in a book I read: American Grace by David Campbell and Robert Putnam. I interviewed David Campbell for a podcast I was doing at the time. We talked about it a little and I read more about it after that. But, like I said, long time ago. The book is a starting place if you're interested, though.

> I've seen this before about religious people being more charitable. It is entirely possible it is true, but what are the studies counting and are they based on self-reporting or other forms of data?

" In our book American Grace: How Religion Divides and Unites Us, Robert Putnam and I show that there is a strong connection between being religious and being charitable. Not surprisingly, the most highly religious Americans contribute their time and treasure to religious causes. But they also give to secular causes—at a higher rate than do the most secular Americans."
