Presumably the people attending a church pay taxes, and then they are forced to pay taxes again through their church.
Remember when it comes down to it, in the final analysis it is always people who pay taxes....not property or buildings.
Yes, people who run a business need to pay taxes for their business as well as their private property. What's the issue?
