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

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.
What's not to understand, you and your kudo partners seem to agree the constitution doesn't call for the separation of church and state, all the other atheist believe it does.

The only reason you would see a Satan statue at a city hall is because certain atheists(not all or most) like to troll Judeo-Christians. The religions of the community would realize it is better not to give a venue to atheistic trolls rather than have the opportunity to have their icons displayed at city hall.
Seems to me that a public forum would expose those who are in it to discredit Christianity, this would give our most talented to debate openly with the county watching.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
