    Taxing religious organizations gives them official representation in government affairs which is just as bad, if not worse.

      Definitely not how that works. All companies are taxed and they don’t get any special representation outside lobbying that they were going to do either way and churches do in fact put a lot of the money they should have payed in taxes into lobbying.

      Not taxing them hasn’t kept their fingers out of the American government.

      Far from it.

      Hell, the current speaker is trying to convince everyone that the government was always intended to be based on religious dogma.

      Please elaborate…

      Like, do you think McDonald’s as a corporation gets to vote?

      Do you think priests and preachers don’t get to vote now?
