Seeing that it is religiously based it would be discriminatory against those who have rejected religion, might as well have the tax system based on Jack and the Bean Stalk or the Three Little Pigs or Snow White and the Seven Dwarves no different all nothing but made up stories IMHO.

I bet we would see a big up tick in those who suddenly become atheists to get out of paying taxes.

The rest of ya, enjoy paying your religiously based taxes!
