There is nothing in the first Amendment that says we have to tax subsidize churches.

Any church can operate without any interference from the government. But if you want money from the government you need to follow the rules.

"There is nothing in the first Amendment that says we have to tax subsidize churches."

You are making a fool out of yourself. You need to read the first amendment before you type.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof: or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

The government is not giving churches any money...the government is simply not taking the churches money....You sound like a Dummycrat saying that the government is giving me your money if the government doesn't take my money from me in the form of taxes. There is nothing in the first Amendment that says we have to tax subsidize churches.
