You say that believers are more charitable but that is not a testament to their beliefs but to their own virtues but what created their values? Your argument seems rather circular on this point.
And as to whether religious claims are demonstrably false and contrary to contemporary science, etc, you may want to take a look at what John Polkinghorne, a physicist and Anglican priest has to say about the relationship between religion and science. If you can access the archives of CBC radio's Tapestry programme (August 30, 2009) to hear an interview done with him.

Donations to religious organizations are frequently used for programmes to help others. For instance, you can donate money to the Anglican Primates Fund for World Relief and Development Fund is used for a variety of programmes domestically and internationally. So I would suggest donations to religious organizations are used for more than just looking after buildings, etc.

Yes, Glover's argument does suggest that rising crime rates indicate that the Tories' 'tough on crime' legislation has been successful. Weird. So what's been happening with the crime rate since the Conservatives have been elected? Are they up or down? If down, does this mean we have to blame the --gasp-- Liberal dominated Senate?
