Does religion still enjoy a tax exempt status in this country?

They were supposed to leave politics out of the pulpit instead they have wallpapered the church with politics. They should no longer enjoy tax exempt status.

There are many small basically family run churches throughout the country. Those that have respected the line between the church and state their status should be reviewed But these mega churches raking in millions, sponsoring candidates and now suing have worn out their welcome.
