Gonna need some evidence for this statement:

Quote:Eliminating the tax exemption status for churches would solve poverty in the United States.


And this is a strawman:

Quote:We no longer want to fund religions who think the Bible trumps the Constitution.

I would definitely sign a petition that was more simply worded... something like, "due to the United States' policy of separation of church and state, religions should not be funded by the state. We demand the immediate removal of tax-exempt status for churches."

Are you sure about that last one?
