Well, I do. But this law banning churches from politics violates the basic freedom of speech. Every institution is political.

Let churches pay taxes and they can say whatever they want. They have a choice.

Most churches are like mine in that there is no "profit" to tax anyway.

So, what about other non-profits and their political speech?

In other words, you must pay to have free speech. Not very free.
