Look at this BS. Churches sure love not paying taxes, just as sure as they love taking our tax money.

Sitting on billions, Catholic dioceses amassed taxpayer aid

When the coronavirus forced churches to close their doors and give up Sunday collections, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Charlotte turned to the federal government’s signature small business relief program for more than $8 million.

The diocese’s headquarters, churches and schools landed the help even though they had roughly $100 million of their own cash and short-term investments available last spring, financial records show. When the cash catastrophe church leaders feared didn’t materialize, those assets topped $110 million by the summer.

Lying, thieving, low-life Scumbags the entire lot of them imo.
Tax them to hilt, seize ALL their assets, liquidate them and put the monies towards relieving poverty, homelessness, etc, etc.

It really bugs me when people give so much of their hard earned to churches because they "help the poor." Some of them are poor. They can help the poor, themselves, by not paying tithes. They already pay taxes that help the poor. They already pay insurance to help with catastrophes. If they want to help other poor people, there are so many ways to do now that, crowdfunding, etc. wherein the goes directly to the people who need it. While there are many charitable religious organizations, only a small % of the they are given goes to that. The rest goes to building ornate houses of worship, fancy uniforms, defending lawsuits, etc. The churches give to the poor is probably a lot less than corporation in taxes which also help the poor, but it's the corporations that are the big, evil bad guys, right? The Catholic Church is one of the most corrupt corporations on the planet, and they go unchecked.

Many corporations have voluntarily given their loans back. The church should as well.

That, imo, would be akin to trying to get blood out of a stone.

Do you think the government is going to pay taxes to itself?

United States of America(the constitution and its laws)is the secret religion of the Masonic lodge secret religion racist devil worshippers since their freedom from England July 4th, 1776.

Tax and mandatory identification for taxation and government control of capitalism slavery is biblical "religious" mandate.

Biblical mandate for the required tax was 10%, or called a tithe.

A tithe (/taɪð/; from Old English: teogoþa "tenth" ) is a one-tenth part of something, paid as a contribution to a religious organization or compulsory tax to government.[wikipedia]

that no man might BUY or SELL, save he that had the mark or the name of the beast or the number of his name. Revelations 13:17

You must have identification issues by the Masonic lodge secret religion racist devil worshippers government such as birth certificate, social security card and photo identification to obtain a bank account to use a debt card to make purchases.

Income tax and requiring identification is a "religion establishment " mandate and the laws of America under the constitution requiring taxpaying is a violation of the constitution "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, ...."
