Stop and think.
How does the study you used show that Christians are more charitable than others?
First off, the point wasn't essentially about you being right or wrong. It is just that you post your assertions as fact, saying that the evidence and all the statistics back you up without posting any evidence or statistics, and then over several posts refuse to provide any. It is the sort of thing you delight in criticizing others for.
However, I'd suggest that just maybe you're going to the wrong church. In spending time with those in my church I see people committed to their marriages, and are committed to serving the community and the world with both time and money. I realize that is anecdotal and doesn't mean much in the larger picture but my personal experience in living and attending church in a variety of locations in Canada is that there is a marked difference in the behaviour and attitudes of those from the church group of friends and my secular group of friends.
As far as the study I posted. it points out that the areas in the US that are more inclined to be religious, out give the non-religious areas by a fairly large margin, including even to secular charitable organizations. You can make what you like out of the study.
He has told you, O man, what is good ; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God.
