If they are paying taxes they have less money to engage in charitable works. Is this not immediately apparent?
There are plenty of tax-exempt charities. And they file paperwork and meet several conditions. Churches don't.
If churches want to be tax-exempt, they should meet the same criteria as the other charities.
Yes, that "condition" is the 1st amendment establishment clause. It's inappropriate for the government to dictate religious matters.
It's odd how many people here want to ditch 1A while bitching about right wing authoritarians.
Holy shit what? The first amendment is literally exactly why they should be taxed...
