Excuse me...
Is there a good reason they are not required? They are 100% trustworthy, and not accountable?
Bollocks to that.
That's the point I was referring to. We already have other tax-exempt organizations, and they have to undergo a documentation process to establish that they are in fact deserving of the tax-exempt status. Why not simply have churches follow the same procedure? It wouldn't put any sort of financial burden on them or impact the expression of their worship in any way.
Churches seem to want to have it both ways: they want the tax exempt status that other non-profits enjoy, but also don't think the rules that other non-profits follow should apply to them
