Putting churches on the same rules as other tax-exempt organizations OR removing their tax-exempt status if they want their private perks is something I'm okay with.
I just don't see how you can ban churches. A home that is used for congregations is a church. Unless your new hypothetical government is going to write down everything that stipulates a 'church' and then monitor everyone's 'home' so it doesn't cross into the 'church' territory, I don't see how it's possible, let alone effective or ethical.
That's roughly what I had in mind when I stipulated about Orwellian abominations
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
