If they actually are non-profits, that should change, then.
If you taxed churches, wouldn't you have to tax all non-profit institutions? The reason churches are tax-exempt isn't because they're religious organizations, it's because they meet the definition of non-profit organizations under IRS rules.
I agree but disagree. Catholic Church, Protestant churches, etc should not be taxed but cults like scientology or jeovah witnesses should be taxed (well their not legit).
But if you think that you're ingesting the body and blood of a 2,000 year-old deity infused into wine and a bread product . . . ?? Ehhhh. What constitutes "cult behavior" is a very good question! Especially when boatloads of money are being made.
