I mean I guess based on that website it is just dollars & cents. However, The people in those "generous states" probably don't write a check and get it over with any more than the "less generous states." Because I know that I also donate time, clothes, books that aren't counted. But I don't tithe either. I know lots of people who do but my church never practiced that. We have always given donations to the church but I'm not sure it was 10%...we didn't exactly calculate it. Also a far as what constitutes charitible worlk...what if someone is required to do community service due to breaking the law...does that count. And if tithes count...does involvement with the church count. So I think that a survey based on time spent would be difficult. Not that it would be the same or different...and not that time spent is any less valuble. I just think that would be difficult to judge.
