Drop the tax exempt BS and end the problem. Why should a church make itself beholden to the government?

That may be an answer, but it will only be a short term solution. Given enough time, and assuming a slippery slope of liberalism, churches will not be able to address issues like homosexuality or abortion from the pulpit either. This has become the reality in Canada, and at least one pastor in Sweden is in jail for simply reading relevent passages from the Bible. Liberalism/National Socialism will brook no resistance.
