66% of all adults donated to a church or religious center during 1999. 17% of adults claim to tithe, while 3% actually do so. 16% of born again Christians gave no money to his or her church in 1999. 8% of those making $20,000 or less gave at least 10% of their income to churches, while 1% of those making $75,000-$99,999 gave a similar amount. 27% of people who do not attend church made no donations to nonprofits in 1999.
