Mormon Charity

The Mormons

Yes magic underwear https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BurvEt_y1k Mitt Romney and South Park. Those Mormons.

Deeply religious Mormons volunteer significantly more than the deeply religious of other faiths and more than the non-religious. About 430 hours a year compared to 36 hours by the average American. We are not just talking about missionary work either. They tithe to church more often than others. They have low rates of people refusing a "calling" by a bishop to do volunteering work. They also can't get into the temple unless they have paid their dues. They also have tithing settlements where how much they give to the church is discussed with the bishop. So there is a strong commitment to being charitable especially to fellow Mormons.
