I would love for churches to come off 501C3.

Hats off to you, sir, for this position. Our reasons are wholly different to be sure, but even you'd have to admit it would be quite interesting for some of the mega-churches and thieving churches (yes, they exist) under the guise of things like the Rainbow Coalition to have to report earnings. My mouth waters at the prospect as much as yours does to remove biology from public schools. Imagine the eyes that would be opened! (Just don't take my dear Jack and Rexella off the air!)

accountability would be good, because there are some churches masquerading as Christians, as you say. But I think to put a blanket on “mega churches” like that is wrong. A lot of the early churches were very large.

I don’t think churches have to pay taxes or go in 501c3 though. In fact churches are excepted in the IRS code by 508c1, but most think they have to go on 501c3
