1) Agreed. I don't imagine this one backfiring, though it is of course hard to actually do. Still, most of the thing LW sets its mind to are equally hard, so I don't see this as a particular barrier.
2) I suspect it'll be less than that - the religious donate more(which is a big part of why the US is the most generous developed nation), and a lot of them actually do tithe as-is, which means this proposal won't result in them giving any more. But even if it is 1/3, yeah, I'm fine with that. A lot of religious money these days is spent on good works that even an atheist like myself will give props for, and even if it was all wasted, 2/3 of donations will be doing good things.
