If you could make religion illegal

[Amarok]

The reason Churches have a property tax exemption is because they are there to serve the community. You don't have to pay to go to church. The employees and upkeep are paid for by optional donations from the people who utilize the Church services at no cost. They also organise charity events, and money raised by the church goes partially to that as well. Lastly, tax exemption reinforces separation of church and state.

Nonsense mega churches make tons of money and act like a corporation . But are not taxed a cent . And no it does not especially when churches  become a political lobby group .

The similarities between a corporation and a mega church

Then churches should follow the "no pay, no play" rule. 

And "to serve the community" is ludicrous. They're here to make money, like any other business.

And even if they did originally intend to make money . They nonetheless do. And it's not by donations
