Hey Mr President! I represent evangelicals, televangelists and scientology like Kenneth Copeland, Joel Osteen, David Miscavige, etc.
We collectively call you out as a raping pedophile piece of shit living specimen who wouldn’t dare come after our tax-free status. FUCK YOU!
Unless they can show they are providing beneficial services to the entire community they should not get it. So a church that only serves their parishioners would be a no, but one that runs a food bank open to the community would be able to get it.
Any political advocacy along the lines of telling people who they should vote for should be a permanent revocation of nonprofit status.
I’m not opposed to that, but I don’t see any reason to bring the word “church” into it. I think they should be treated like any other club of people, and that may well include tax exemptions for community work.

yall already have 501c7 which is membership organisations like sports clubs
well, it’s probably a similar thing to a 501c7: membership organisations like sports clubs
