Sadly a pipe-dream. If legislation were to be put into place to touch the $600+ billion religion makes a year, they would simply declare themselves a charity and file as such.

Religion has a right to exist, it does not have the right to a free ride and other privileges

No shit, Sherlock!

Really hypocritical. They want public money when their churches need repair and they want say in making rules but please don't ask them to pay for anything. We fought a revolution on the adage taxation without representation and now religious want representation without taxation. Seems a bit greedy and misguided to me.

If you were getting your money for nothing and they wanted some of it wouldn't you be a bit pissed too.
If nothing else tax the real estate their buildings stand on.

I don't care if they want to attack me.
Nothing will sway me from the fact that churches should pay taxes.
I know how to fight.

Try Germany... there they tax you and give some of the tax to churches!
You have “opt out” and make a declaration that you are not part of a church... else they add church tax to your tax bill!

Well, the way I see it is if they are getting bailout money from the government for the Covid virus relief fund then they should pay taxes, after all that bailout money is our tax dollars they are getting, and since they don't pay taxes they shouldn't get a damn dime.

It's ingrained in them. Religion is the root of all evil
