[Dystopia]

I think tax exemptions from a legal perspective should be the same (if we're talking about income or profit tax on collective people) for charity associations or foundations, sure we know the church likes it's profit, but if their primary mission is to propagate christian faith we can't demand them to pay more taxes than a non profit organization... Of course if there are special tax benefits comparing the church with other religious institutions that's a different problem. In my country there is a treaty with the vatican that grants some exemptions to the catholic church, but then again this is accepted because the population is predominately catcholic so the State assumes it's important to benefit the church

As for the church influence that's a different matter

Certainly if they form a real charity, or a real educational institution, that part of the church should be tax exempt on the same basis as other charities and educational institutes.

The State shouldn't fund churches. I was just saying we can't tax churches like we tax corporations like nike or adidas or even small companies that search mainly for profit
