Indeed, and the organizations which do so are perpetually overworked due to gross abuse of the classification. So much so, that preachers have begun their own preacher witchhunts to out those preachers they feel are abusing the system (hint -usually those preachers which belong to other denominations, lol). The 501c3 as far as churches are concerned is shaky to begin with, as the very moment a preacher starts talking politics they've violated the spirit (and often the letter) of the law in the first place (though we give churches a measure of respect they do not deserve and rarely take them to task for this).
