[Question] Are The Worlds Top Charities Secular?

Hello

I have been debating a family member on charitable donations in Christian communities, and he pointed out that the vast majority of charities were founded by Christians. I pointed out that out of the worlds most effective charities, there was no overrepresentation of Christian founders like there was in the less-effective charities, implying that it wasn’t so much the higher rates of generosity as much as it was a confounding variable. Unfortunately, most of these charities do not give much information as to their founders or religious or secular philosophies, so I can only give information on the charities that do which is a much smaller sample which may have confounding variables of its own. I have no reason to doubt that I’m wrong, but it would be nice to know if I am.

Cheers

Jack
