If you look at a church as the edifice you are correct but, looked at through the members who regularly organize for causes they value then the church is still giving more and doing more accurately than the government.
For instance, I just took on a $4,000 fund raising project for a girls hockey team outside of the church.
In fact, I raise as much as $20,000 in a year that has nothing to with the church for various causes.
Another thing I do is I give away ski’s for walkers to anyone I see who is using a standard walker. Gave one away last night.
These ski’s help the walker glide over the many surfaces one encounters as they go through their day.
Using a walker is hard and I’d like to make it a little easier.
None of this is to impress you but, to impress upon you the many things we do as individuals and we rely on our friends to help in these goals, many of whom are part of the same we attend.

Ok, and would you suddenly be prevented from doing that if churches paid property taxes or income tax.
I do not see the connection.
