Why do so many people assume that people who have religion only give to charity because they are being told to rather than because they feel it is the right thing to do and they like helping?

That would be like saying that people like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet only give to charities because they want to improve their public image or because of some kind of social guilt about being wealthy. Maybe they just like to help... (BTW, doing a bit of research, they both actually sound more like varying degrees of agnostics than atheists).
