Recently a study was done and the results showed that compassion drove religious people's charitable feelings less than it did in the case of Athiests. Are you surprised by this result? Yes

Apparently they found that in the case of non-religious people, the strength of their emotional connection to another person is critical to whether they will help that person or not whereas religious people are motivated more by their religion's doctrine, reputation in the community and church and are less motivated by emotion or empathy. Do you think this is true of the people you know? Yes
