job of repeating the trite party line and insulting religious believers all in one short sentence. Bravo and welcome to the religion group!

This has nothing at all to do with people who "like fairy take (sic) stories better than science". It has to do with those colleges and universities that might oppose same-sex marriage and discriminate based on that.

And if you are interested enough to read the article, you will see that it is unlikely to be an issue with the IRS at all.

Now, if you are interested in understanding more about the tax status of religious organizations, there are some threads that I can link you to that discuss this. In short, the tax exempt status that is applied to religious groups is the same status that is applied to any non-profit. To remove it, as you seem to endorse, would be a 1st amendment violation and a very, very slippery slope.
