Some will thrive when that time comes. Especially if homosexuality is not part of their "core message."
Unfortunately a lot of preachers and institutions will close if they lose tax exempt status.
Then we'll find out who is for Christ and who is for the $$.
I think that’s their goal, to completely destroy religious institutions.

Sadly the majority of churches and pastors today do not stand up or speak out about homo marriages. The only one that I have heard say a thing about it is Pastor Robert Jeffers of First Baptist Church of Dallas, Texas, who I saw on TV speak out against homo marriage in his sermon one Sunday afternoon when I watched his program, Pathway to Victory. Pastor Jeffers is the only one that I have heard say a thing. I know my pastor will not speak out against it. He is too mealy mouthed to do it. He lacks a spine on a lot of these issues. Doesn’t want to ruffle the waters. We have looked for another church but most around here are about as bad. A lot of us are thinking of starting a home church, like the first churches in the first century were. All churches back then were done in private homes. We are thinking of doing it ourselves because of the lack of a pastor who will stand up and do what the Bible tells him to do. Very sad. Many main stream denominations are afraid to do anything or say anything because they are afraid of losing the tax exempt status.

Most Americans Don’t Itemize on Their Tax Returns. I would say those that do will probably still donate. It would be up to the states regarding property tax.
I wish they would do this.
There not... It would open it up for churches to influence their low information flock, and that would be a huge voting block.
Funny thing is that people who give money to their church there donations are still tax deductable.
