I am an Athiest but I don't want to take away the rights of others to worship. They do need to start paying taxes, though.
They shouldn't necessarily pay taxes, but should no longer have a special tax designation. They should be placed in the same category as other not for profit social clubs. Think groups like Shriners, Mason's, a community operated community center.
I'm not well versed in tax law so maybe that would mean paying some property taxes. But it places them on the same level and removes many of thei special privileges
Some of them sell services and merchandise. Look up Joel Scott Osteen, dude has mansions and giant "megachurches".
I am very familiar, but pretty much everything that allows him to embezzle that much money comes special rules that apply to churches and "ministers".
If it were a normal social club the rules would change.
Well yes but then every church would have a different tax filing status based on its operations and scale, or in other words "they should have to pay taxes."
Differences without distinction.
Agreed, and I also don’t want them forcing their dumb bullshit into our schools or government. My post was a lame attempt at a cheeky joke.
