It's actually a good argument for not taxing the church.
If the church was taxed, small community churches would most likely have to close up.
The mega churches (I call them big-box churches) would spread across the US like walmart did.
What you'd have left is a highly commercial and tightly controlled fundamentalist church of the US that would have deep political ties.
Yikes.... Chew on that a minute....

Spirituality is God. Religion is just a money making scheme for people to control others through guilt, fear etc. This has been maintained over centuries in this way. Look at the number of wars fought, which boil down to one religion wanting control over another. Most of them!
Religions justify their existence by knitting spirituality into their 'doctrines' but they are not spirituality per se. God and spirituality transcend all so-called religions.
