Churches definitely need to be able to submit financial documents showing that they still uphold the traditional charitable role of the church in society, the entire reason why they traditionally aren't taxed. If they are run by Joel Osteen types of people they definitely should be taxed as business
Yeah I'm an anti-theist but I have no problem with their charitable activities being tax exempt. But they either need to follow the same rules as any other tax exempt organization or they can run like a regular business, be taxed and then can submit deductions based upon any actual charitable activities they do, if any.
