Liberals are uncharitable relative to conservatives. In March 2008, George Will wrote at RealClearPolitics concerning the United States:

Atheists and agnostics often reject biblical morality (and therefore conservative Christianity) and hold to moral relativism.[3] Therefore, it is not surprising that per capita, atheists and agnostics in America give significantly less to charity than theists even when church giving is not counted for theists.[4] These figures do not, however, take into account volunteer work that may be done by these same people. Many argue that the actual volunteer work has equal or greater value to monetary donations.
The political magazine featured an article which focused on liberal politicians and uncharitableness and the article exposed the hypocrisy of the liberal politicians it featured.[5]
Barack Obama has also been criticized concerning his (un)charitable giving.
