Do YOU think it's time to end the tax exempt status of churches?

146. The tax exempt status of the churches...

are no different from any other 501(c)(3). So based on current law, generally, I would say no. It would also open a whole new can or worms regarding religious status that I do not see would be a productive debate at this time, especially with their still being a religious exemption to the definition of delusion in the DMS for psychological disorders.

Now, with the current situation with the Catholic church, they have violated the tenets of their 501(c)(3) status and should most certainly have their tax-exempt status stripped from them. The Catholic hierarchy here in the U.S. is using services they provide under their nonprofit umbrella as blackmail to further a political agenda. I'm referring to the Dolan threatening to stop feeding the poor and healing the sick over having their insurance covering contraception. Priests have also been ordered to pass around political petitions during church services.

Other nonprofits that want to cross that line should lose their tax exempt status as well.
