I believe that is simply a tactic to obscure the evidence that many of the liberals who want to spend tax-payer dollars on charity are simply hypocrites. They do not show such compassion for others when the money comes out of their own pockets.
"Just so happens..." I think it is more likely..., " As a result of their view of mankind, church-goers tend to be more compassionate, and conservative in their political outlook.
