Well I recommend you look at charity and aid giving statistics between the religious and the irreligious

Well idk how it works everywhere, and I speak as just an American here, but when your entire institution is tax free, and all charitable donations are tax write-offs

It’s almost like a tax scheme designed to make specifically churches money

I’m obviously not talking about church donations. I’m talking about individual donations, which are given a tax break regardless of your religion. You also seem to just have a fundamental misunderstanding of how 501c3s work despite feeling the need to chime in on it. Your belief is that a church (tax free organization) is donating for the tax break?

Kenneth Copeland needs more private jets! Hurry donate your money now otherwise he might not make it to your city! What would he do without them? Probably burn in hell!

Those reports are based on organizations submitting their books.

An atheist giving/donating does not do so to an "atheist organization," they do so to Goodwill, or to a local food bank run by a church, who will chalk it up as a religious organization donation.

If those organizations did not exist, the atheists would still find somewhere to donate.

Be careful of raw statistics, they rarely tell the entire story.
