As in more than partially bollocks? Don't you think there'd be any statistical skewing at all towards christians being more likely to help their tribe (social group/friends/cobelievers) more than other people? I wouldv'e thought you could expect such a statistical effect just because of christians hanging round with other christians for a higher proportion of the time than random social mixing would produce...?
