I wasn't raised with a religion, so no tithing here, but I don't really see tithing as being one hundred percent charity, and if the reports are based on that, I find them flawed. I don't see giving to a church (a church which's services you benefit from on a weekly if not daily basis) to be charity, unless the church is giving that money away to people who need it. And in that case, why not go directly to the charities rather than working through the church?

Yeah, I'm not sure tithing counts. If I were to guess I'd say it's based on who claimed charitable donations on their taxes.
