Freedom of religion must include freedom from taxation because taxation opens the doors to government coercion in a manner which is forbidden by the 1st Amendment. Requiring churches to pay taxes is encumbering a right of the people and is ethically no different than a poll tax.

A taxbreak isn't taking money from the King, so your whole premise starts off wrong.
And yes, they can have it both ways.
Why do you hate the Constitution?
