As I posted elsewhere: - By organizing under the state laws you become subject to that state(or nation-state). You instantly give up the right to be separate from the state. Religious orgs have no business being organized as nonprofits. If they were true to the essence of the religion they would not want anything to do with being an organization that's recognized by the government. And if you give to a religious org to receive tax benefits you're as bad as one of the money changers that Jesus flipped their tables. Yeah a grimey jew.
I agree but it creates a false sense of equality when one religion is allowed to be free from taxation while another isn't. It shows how persecution by culture or faith is present in the system where it is technically not allowed
Yet it provides an apt sense of reality. True followers of the Christ will become more and more persecuted as we carry on. This has been coming for a while now and is well overdue. I expected to see this in the early Obama years honestly...
