Good and generous people do good and generous things.  If they are religious, then many of them use religion as a vehicle for their natural tendencies.  If they were to leave religion behind, they would still do those things.

What's wrong with throwing some worship X's way?  Because, X doesn't exist, and it would be a waste of my time to fake believing in a poorly crafted fairy tale.

@ Nate Lundgren,

That is exactly it! They do ZIP and that is the cycle that does NEED to be broken.  Religion promotes the idea of co-dependence..to  it's "god" and therefore in turn,  its claimed "charitable works" all done in the NAME of this "god".
