Interesting how nearly all of these “news” sources couch the IRS denial as an infringement or affront to Christian meddling in politics, the very thing that infringes on the establishment clause of the First Amendment. The value expressed by the Framers when separating church and state through the formation of a secular government and drafting a godless Constitution is not shared by today’s Republican Party.

A conservative Republican senator from a previous generation had this to say:
“I'm frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in 'A,' 'B,' 'C,' and 'D.' Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me? And I am even more angry as a legislator who must endure the threats of every religious group who thinks it has some God-granted right to control my vote on every roll call in the Senate. I am warning them today: I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of 'conservatism.'"

Lets hope this is just a start. The IRS needs to take a critical look at the Catholic Bishops that are telling Biden and others who support abortion to not receive communion. This oversteps the bounds of non-profit and should be taxed. Also, any church that shields pedophiles should also lose their tax exempt status. One thing that needs to be done immediately is to quite looking the other way when these religious groups fail to submit their 990 forms.
One problem, though religious groups are under 501 (c ) 4 which is a different category. [smallbusiness.chron.com]

Don't stop at just that, GO FOR BROKE and hit every single one of them, and hit them HARD as well.

That is a good start!!!!

Time to eliminate any Tax exemption on any religious individuals and groups posing as churches to get tax exemption!!!

Really great.

Wonnerful! Wonnerful!

About time!

Finally a great news!

Awesome

Make christianity illegal to teach as truth just like in Sweden.

Christian churches backing political candidates NEED their tax exempt status removed.
That's the deal, that was always the deal, they broke the deal.

I can almost hear the screams of "Christian persecution" already. Much like the Tea Party who expected exempt status even when they may not have deserved it based on their political activities.

Wonderful News!

Now we need to see what will happen in the supreme Court because you know that's where it's going.

It's well past time for ALL tax exemptions for ALL "churches" and "faith based nonprofit groups" to be revoked.

While they're at it, charge them all retroactively for the taxes they SHOULD have been paying.
Hopefully, it'll bankrupt most of them out of existence.

Tax all of them especially the churches, then we can have a viable national health plan.
