Did the Devil Make Them Do It? The Effects of Religion and Religiosity in Public Goods and Trust Games

Overall, religious affiliation is unrelated to individual behavior. However, we find some weak evidence that among subjects attending religious services, increased participation is associated with behavior in both public goods and trust games.
