[Vision2020] Highly religious people are less motivated by compassion than are non-believers

[Donovan Arnold]

Yes, Chas, it seems far-fetched that such values could be so easily quantified and measured with any scientific accuracy or validity.

The study looked at generosity and charity, and tried to determine the motives behind those behaviors. It decided that the highly religious were driven towards acts of generosity and charity less often by empathy and compassion than were the non-religious/less religious. I'm skeptical that such a determination can legitimately be made.
