Why do I want that? It's called freedom.

Why do I want that? It's called freedom.

I'll say it again. You, and every churchmember and religious person in the country has the right to join any political group you want, print newsletters, donate money, have campaign rallies, protest, criticize the government.

Taxing political organizations masquerading as religious organizations prohibits no citizen from practicing politics or political speech. Your argument that this somehow infringes on individual liberty is a red herring.

If Citibank announced that it was a religion, the government would rightly tax it. The same goes for church hierarchies that have a political action committee they call a church body.

Churches are for the purpose of worshipping God, not moneychanging, or bribe taking, or political campaign rallies.
