What does that have to do with anything? I am not arguing that the churches are going to overthrow the US government. I think you just made a straw man argument.


'First off, all religions are treated equal so we are not just trusting the Catholics and Mormons for accurate record keeping and honesty. 

Second, organized religion is notorious for scandals. They are going to abuse this power if they aren't already.'

And it isn't a straw man.  If anything, it's reductio ad absurdum.
