I think that filing the forms and adhering to the same rules as other nonprofits would actually help the honest churches that really do want to help others like Jesus commanded. Christians would have more information on which church to join. It seems like a win/win situation for them so I don't know why Christians themselves don't call for taxing churches. My guess is that they never thought of it because their pastors and church councils certainly aren't going to advance the idea.
