Should Churches Remain Tax-Exempt?

[Jenny A]

Only if you consider providing church services a charity.

"Rather, beneficiaries of an organization’s activities
must be recognized objects of charity (such as the poor or the
distressed) or the community at large (for example, through
the conduct of religious services or the promotion of religion). "

I don't think that they make homeless people pray before they give them a hot meal...

No, but the church services themselves and the promotion of religion are defined as charity by the IRS. That is the problem.

We've argued whether the constitution calls for separation of church and state, did you participate in that. All the atheist here said the constitution called for the separation of church and state, seem you three are the only atheist here who believe the constitution doesn't call for that separation. You all should get together on your notes so you can argue alike on such profound doctrine.

When you can translate that into understandable English, I'll respond.
