Even birth month isn't immune from income differences

BBC News - Are the school odds stacked against summer babies?

Summer babies are less likely to do well at school, and therefore have lower earning potential. Unless they're royal.

But we get a better spread of birthday/christmas presents and so are well adjusted

Well they will probably be the youngest in the year so won't be as developed. Its all aged 5 on 1st September.

Time of year could be a factor as well. People who have just had their birthday might have some extra birthday cash to splash around.

Still not going to factor in ability to pay, though. And are births spread evenly throughout the year? I would expect a bulge around September / October time, but that's just a guess.

You can't go around giving money out in those quantities. Can you dilute it a bit more?

Say another 500 times?

Other issues:
Atheism and agnosticism are not religions.

If I were a Christian, I certainly wouldn't want to use the same hat as a Mormon so there would need to be some kind of declaration of faith,

I would like to see his model for calculating which religion cares most, because we must assume that the religions are not evenly distributed among passers by. Also, how does he measure amount donated against ability to pay, or does he not even bother with that?

He needs an "other" for Mormons, JW, Scientologists, etc.

Also he's clearly not that bright, he mis-spelled Spiritual. Although kudos for getting atheist right.
