Okay, I grew up in the Bible Belt, but I wasn't raised with any religious background--so, no tithing here! My parents didn't agree with the practice anyway, as they saw too many friends and relatives not paying their rent so they could give their 10% to the church. We were taught to contribute through works and deeds and then, if there was extra money, with our wallets.
I wouldn't be surprised if East Coasters give more in actual dollars, but a lower percentage of their incomes, than their southern counterparts.
