[[Image:228130875 35181424e3.jpg|thumb|right|250px|According to a study by the [[Barna Group]] regarding charitable giving:"The typical no-faith American donated just $200 in 2006, which is more than seven times less than the amount contributed by the prototypical active-faith adult ($1500). Even when church-based giving is subtracted from the equation, active-faith adults donated twice as many dollars last year as did atheists and [[agnosticism|agnostics]]."<ref>[http://www.barna.org/barna-update/article/12-faithspirituality/102-atheists-and-agnostics-take-aim-at-christians Atheists and Agnostics Take Aim at Christians] ''The Barna Update'', 2007.</ref> Please see: [[Atheism, uncharitableness and depression]] ]]
A number of studies have confirmed that there is an inverse relationship to doing volunteer work and depression.<ref>http://www.pursuit-of-happiness.org/science-of-happiness/caring/caring-and-happiness-reviews/</ref> The [[Atheist Population|atheist population]] does less charitable works and volunteering [[per capita]] than the theist population (see: [[Atheism and uncharitableness]]).
