EXEMPTIONS...that’s what gets them this kind of trouble
when they excepted them they give the govrnment
the green light to TELL them what to say and how to conduct
business! Don’t cha think?

No!

What the heck makes you think that paying taxes instead of having their charitable status, would make them any less susceptible to government intrusion?

This law isn't conditioned on taking gov't money or exemptions -- it applies to every employer.

I think you should brush up on your history and learn exactly why the state granted the Church its exemption; it predates the Republic, which it didn't ask for, to begin with.

You might start by reading Walz vs. Tax Commission of the City of New York and work backwards.
