Let's make the distinction between churches and charities clear shall we.
Your churches only benefit you believers. They don't benefit me. Even then you don't need them.
Charities exist to help everyone, and provide a service that is needed. Your church doesn't.
If you're asking whether I think churches should get tax exemptions? Hell fucking no.
I also think it rather ironic that churches are labelled as 'non-profits'. Get a fucking clue.
A lot of churches (once they have the financial resources to do) at least in Australia provide charity, generally through their charity organisations. The Anglicans, Baptists, Salvation Army, Roman Catholic Church, along with many others have extensive social welfare organisations.
