I'd love some sort of reference for this quote.

Let me find some. In my NPO class at the UofA I remember a pretty stark % breakdown that always stuck with me for giving as % of income based on religious affiliation. It was like 3.3% for Christians. 1.1% Muslims, and 0.3% non religious.

Here’s one from Maclean’s that has for avg annual Canadian giving:

$2345 for non religious
$7178 for actively religious

And this quote is interesting too. It’s not just that they give more cause they give to religious things. They also give more and are more loyal to other causes as well if they identify as religious.

“Cygnus Applied Research, a Hamilton-based company that tracks donor intentions and charitable trends in the U.S. and Canada. Its annual survey of some 22,000 donors on both sides of the border confirms religious conviction has a major impact on philanthropy, says company president Penelope Burk. “It’s not just giving to one’s own faith,” she says. “Actively religious donors are more likely to give to, stay loyal to and give at a higher level to other causes.””

Also attaching a pick from another site citing some research.
