I only think they should be tax exempt if they prove that they donated or spent all their income to help the community in some sort or another ...
These days religion and running a big church is just like a business. it is no longer a local preacher or priest .. they are doing 3-5 shows a day and they herd people in and herd them out .. at least in bigger cities...
The first time I heard a sermon purely about tithes I quit going to church ..
Good Luck!

Only if they actively participate in politics. Some have lost their exempt status for just this reason. (Separation of Church and State is a two-way street!) |

No, but they should make preachers pay tax just like everyone else. |

Should a church and it's minister decide to get into the political arena then they should not be tax exempted. The church and it's minister should be political free, and the minister saying it it his/her right for free speech is not a reason for him to stand up in church and state voting and political policy is not a reason for the church to continue in a tax exempt status.
What he says in private is his own opinion and political views. That is different, but it can not be done in the pulpit.
I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck

Most definately!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, however, I do not know how much revenue would be generated by it but it would probably be quite a sizable amount. |

The first amendment states: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. The government is bared from involving itself in religion. The reverse IS NOT true. Even a casual reading of the founding fathers writing indicates they considered it ESSENTIAL that people brought their religion into government. Taxing religious organizations is a direct violation of the first amendment. Political involvement of churches was ENCOURAGED by our founders.
Jo Blo: Preachers ARE taxed the same as everyone else. They can only opt out of Social Security and only if they have a MORAL objection to the system. In that case they also forfeit any payments they would have received. If I had the option, I would make that trade in 5 seconds. |

Yes, there is nothing special about churches that should exempt them. The government is definitely subsidizing religion (albeit not one in particular) by giving them tax-exempt status, and that is not fair to those who don't believe in religion at all. If people want to go to church, more power to them, but let them pay for what they are getting, not getting their money from the taxpayers. |

No tax exempt has been the law long before their was a congress. In fact I am for doing away with an political tax exempt as this is a violation of the 1st Amendment. |
