    That’s just wrong. Churches are tax free because they are churches.

    Don’t believe me? Go look up a church’s 990… oh, wait… you can’t. Because they don’t have to file them because they are “special” in the eyes of the law. Not just a run of the mill charity.

      And yet many churches do choose to file their financial disclosure forms, for transparency sake

      And I fully support removing that exemption, I don’t want to protect corrupt churches like you assume I do

        Which disproves your original claim of “churches aren’t tax free because they are churches”

          It doesn’t though. They still have to provide charitable services. You are being deliberately dense and obstinate and life is too short to waste on people like you

            The IRS directly contradicts what you’re saying. You can stop pretending you know what you’re talking about now.
