Highly Religious People Are Less Motivated by Compassion Than Are Non-Believers

8. My ex waited tables for quite some time.

As you may or may not know, wait staff get paid a couple of bucks an hour (literally) and the great majority of their income comes from tips provided by customers.

It was not at all uncommon for Christians to come in, take up a table for hours and then leave a religious pamphlet as a "tip", I heard her rant about it on damn near a weekly basis. Not only did these people not leave a real tip, they took up a table that could have been occupied by atheists who would leave cash rather than a religious tract.

Now in their minds they were being "compassionate" but my ex wasn't interested in their tracts, we had a kid to feed, clothe, house, educate and etc and the damn pamphlets didn't help with any of that.

In America at least, it seems the more religious you are the more hateful you are to others. You might recall the "Let them die" moment in the Republican primary debates, practically everyone in the hall that cheered that statement was a devout Christian.
