Your view of taxes is strange. Is it "punishment" when businesses pay taxes? What about private citizens? I think it's just the government getting it's due to serve the population. Institutions whose sole purpose to serve the population, and also want to find ways to make sure they are served better, shouldn't be taxed. Institutions that try to push their version of the afterlife, while just happening to randomly serve society, should be taxed.
If you're going to be telling the hungry people you are feeding that they are going to hell if they don't convert to your religion (or the equivalent) then you should be taxed. If you don't do that, then you have nothing to worry about! I already said I believe branches of religious institutions that don't proselytize or encourage seeing sermons shouldn't be taxed, so I'm not sure what you want me to say. I'm sorry I fit your definition of a bigot, but I don't think enough people agree with you for it to ever matter. Have a nice life.
