Well, yeah, Muslim kids are probably not generous because they have their parents’ example to follow.
A big issue with this research is that it lumped Christian children and Muslim children together.
This will skew the results.
Wow. Can weseparate the Christians and the Muslms?
Excuse me if I say BS!!!
Total BS. The gibsmedats take no matter who it is from.
I knew it! Just look how much money all the atheist charities give...oh, wait. Ther are no atheist charities (unless they are spending our taxpayer dollars)
I don't have the time nor the inclination to try to guess who made the study, or...
Who was assigned the supreme power to feel it unnecessary to define the study's definition of "generous."
I have a bad feeling that "generosity" towards pro-sodomists and other perverts plays a major role.
Not interested.
From the study analysis:
“Results from a linear regression with number of stickers shared as the dependent variable and age (1-year bins), country of origin, socioeconomic status (1–6 scale) and overall religiousness of the household (aggregate score) suggest that age (bstandardized = 0.410, p < 0.001), SES (bstandardized = 0.13, p < 0.001), and religiousness (bstandardized = .150, p < 0.001) are all significant predictors of sharing (model r2adjusted = 0.194). Importantly, the relations between altruism and the three aspects of religiousness were strongest in older children (n = 533, ages 8–12 years; r = .187 p < 0.001; r = .211, p < 0.001; r = .202, p < 0.001, respectively).”
This contradicts the headline.
According to libs donating to charity doesn’t mean anything but giving out stickers does.

The study included moslems, that threw everything off
Correct me if I’m wrong but I would say countries are acting as a confounding factor with nonreligious kids tending to come from a different set of nations than religious kids. Pretty glaring if they missed it. But I’m not some bigshot published in cell so what do I know.
Maybe these objective researchers* *(sarcasm) got it wrong when it comes to the Christian kids. Our Lord did say to help the truly needy but the Bible also says “He who will not work will not eat’’ and The Lord helps those who help themselves’’. In our new ;;gimmedat’’ world it’s supposed to be about entitlements. “I’m entitled to sit on my ass while your work yours off and support me and if you don’t you’re a greedy 1 per center and I’ll crap on a cop car and trash a Starbucks until you give me what I’m entitled to’’.
Translation: Those who have values and work for their money are more thrifty than those who merely pass on what they have been give through the hard work of others....
