N.C. church may loose tax exempt status for engaging in political activity.

RE: N.C. church may loose tax exempt status for engaging in political activity.
On the issue of tax exemption, right or wrong aren't they a charity? I can see how some of what they do should be taxed. Things like businesses, real estate investments, and very expensive "parsonages" but other things look like they can qualify as a charity. Where are the lines drawn for non religious charities vs the lines for religious charities? I think religions have special status but I don't know for sure.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
