Maybe this is a good reason to start taxing church properties. If they generate tax revenue, the same as any other entity, it will be harder to make a case that there will be a public benefit by seizing them for taxable development.

In any case, tax exemption for churches is a public subsidy for them. It's only a matter of time before the SCOTUS comes to the same conclusion.
