Tax exempt organizations can't lobby politicians. Be careful what you ask for....you might get it. No taxation without representation. Churches would be free to lobby the politicians and there would be no room to deny them access. That second half of the First Amendment may be a sticking point Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;. A tax paying church is no longer cowering in fear of losing the tax exempt status. That is the sword of Damocles that keeps them toeing the line. They would be free to operate precisely by the dictates of their religious practices including limiting a religious marriage recognition to a single man / single woman as has been common practice for centuries.

I would oppose pulling the tax exempt status from religious organizations, but if that occurs, they get a seat at the table with every other taxpayer.

This is precisely what our pastor said today.

“Tax exempt organizations can’t lobby politicians.”

I bet every single leftist org violates this daily

[GeronL]

I very much support the idea of unregistered churches

Does anyone who is sane trust what Justice Kennedy says?

Ya know, that might not be so bad after all. Just might attend church a lot more during the week if we could talk politics.

I would be in favor of ending tax exempt status for EVERY organization. Repeal section 501(c). End the concept of “non-profit”. That would affect more Leftist organizations than Right.

The Methodist Church has lobbyists.
