Friendly Atheist Hemant Mehta reports:

I’ve mentioned before how atheists are atop the leaderboard at Kiva — a website that “allows people to lend money via the Internet to microfinance institutions in developing countries which in turn lend the money to small businesses…” It’s a wonderful charity.

The 5,000+ members of the Atheists, Agnostics, Skeptics, Freethinkers, Secular Humanists and the Non-Religious group have given over $763,000 in loans!

And Kiva Christians are in second

But here’s a fun twist: If you sort by category, by “Religious Congregations,” who sits atop the leaderboard then?

Not Kiva Mormons. They’re in 3^rd.

Not Catholic Kiva. They’re in 2^nd.

In 1^st, members of The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster! The 600+ members have loaned over $82,000.

Take that, Marianne!
