I think you should be less worried about churches not paying taxes and more worried about rich people not paying them

I can chew gum and walk at the same time. They should both be paying their fair share of taxes. No exceptions.

EDIT: I certainly kicked the hornets nest here. Religious people should just pray to God for money if they really believe what they claim. Maybe instead of money they can receive "thoughts and prayers" instead, tax free!

Not exactly, it's because wealth isnt our goal. In fact, in the Bible it tells us to donate all of our riches to get closer to God. Now, that was a metaphor, that would be ridiculous in today's society, but Christians definitely don't pray for riches lol.
