thrashmetal14 10/10/17 9:38:57 PM #17:	Prestoff posted... Isn't the reason churches are tax exempt because they fall under the "non-profit" organization category? This. My local church that I grew up going to was funded by the donations of the community. Why would you tax a religious institution that is funded solely on the donations of its members, who already pay taxes? You dont have freedom of religion if you have to pay the government to open a church. I understand that mega churches are an issue. Its disgusting that they can profit off of religion, and I would get behind something to audit churches like that. However those are a small percentage of churches. All the local small town churches across the country would close down if they had to pay taxes, it simply isnt sustainable for them. Theres no reason whatsoever to tax religion, and most reasonable people would agree. <cite>thrashmetal14 posted [p:888199401] in Should rel...
