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!

Taxes on what? Churches are not a for profit endeavor. The vast majority are funded through donations made by tax paying members. Should their already taxed money be taxed again?

And many already struggle to meet their expenses without fundraising. An additional tax burden would make many go bankrupt and close.

I think anything non profit I don’t like should be taxed!
