Atlanta Bucks a Bible-Belt Trend With Strong Secular Fundraising - How America Gives - The Chronicle of Philanthropy- Connecting the nonprofit world with news, jobs, and ideas: "Faith has long been the primary driver of giving in the South, particularly in Bible-Belt states like Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee, where churchgoers traditionally dig deep when the collection plate makes the rounds every Sunday.
