No, because then there wouldn't be any separation of church and state.
Well, maybe limited separation could be possible as well as taxes.
Depends how it's handled.
There are churches out there which make little money but do good in the community.
There are the mega-churches where they rake in money and the leaders of the churches have multi-million dollar houses and private planes.
There are also churches that are openly defying the IRS by endorsing candidates from the pulpits. These, despite the clear evidence, have been ignored by the IRS and need to be taxed into the dirt.
