Any statistical relationship between self-reported religious beliefs and self-reported charitable giving?
Yes, sort of, and in the direction you expect.
I split religion up into theist (Lukewarm theist, committed theist, pantheist/deist/etc., N = 130) and nontheist (agnostic, atheist but spiritual, atheist and not spiritual, N = 745) and did a t-test:

Theists: $597.71 Atheists: $419.34 p-value: 0.109
Then, by percentage of income:
Theists: 2.52% Atheists: 1.62% p-value: 0.203
