In his book, Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism, Professor Arthur C.

Here are a couple quotes that jumped out at me: "The bottom line is, the more religious people are, the more likely they are to give. And religious people do not limit their giving to religious organizations. In fact, religious people are more likely than secular people to give to non-religious charities such as the United Way. Moreover, charity among religious conservatives is not limited to giving only money; they are much more likely to volunteer their time and participate in other informal acts of charity. For instance, religious conservatives are twice as likely as secular people to donate their blood." That is fascinating! Here are a couple quotes that jumped out at me:
