我们研究了荷兰不同宗教教派成员对教堂和非宗教非营利组织的时间和金钱贡献的差异。我们假设，对宗教组织的贡献是基于对宗教社区的参与，而对非宗教组织的贡献更有可能植根于亲社会价值观，如利他主义、平等和对共同利益的责任，这些在宗教传统中是社会化的。荷兰小组调查第一波的数据（n= 1964）支持这些假设。我们发现新教教会成员的志愿精神和慷慨程度高于天主教徒和无宗教信仰者。新教教会成员对教会的更高贡献主要是由于更高的教会出席率和社会贡献压力。相比之下，新教教会成员对非宗教组织的较高贡献，特别是慈善捐赠，主要是由于亲社会价值观。
We study differences in contributions of time and money to churches and non-religious nonprofit organizations between members of different religious denominations in the Netherlands. We hypothesize that contributions to religious organizations are based on involvement in the religious community, while contributions to non-religious organizations are more likely to be rooted in prosocial values such as altruism, equality, and responsibility for the common good, which are socialized in religious traditions. Data from the first wave of the Giving in the Netherlands Panel Survey (n=1,964) support the hypotheses. We find higher levels of volunteerism and generosity among members of Protestant churches than among Catholics and the non-religious. Higher contributions to church among members of Protestant churches are mostly due to higher levels of church attendance and social pressure to contribute. In contrast, higher contributions to non-religious organizations by members of Protestant churches, especially charitable donations, are mostly due to prosocial values.
