Atheists more generous than Christians?

Man labeled different begging bowls with names of religions or belief systems to see which one was the most generous.

An image posted on Reddit shows the man with a sign bearing the message 'which religion cares the most about the homeless?' and nine begging bowls in front of him.

Each bowl is placed on top of a piece of paper bearing the words 'Muslim', 'atheist', 'Jewish', 'Buddhist', 'spiritual', 'agnostic', 'pagan', and 'Christian.

Reddit user Ventachinkway, who uploaded the image, said: 'When I passed him he proudly announced "The atheists are winning!".'

Many commenters drew attention to the fact that the US, where the picture was taken, is predominantly Christian, while others pointed to the carabiner apparently donated by a Buddhist.

The results may not be scientific but they are interesting.
