Are religions that preach inequality for women and gays, traitors to their country?

The rcc got billions of dollars in covid relief that they have used to settle court ordered restitution, and buy real estate with.  They also run daycares.

Frankly, the status of tax exemptions doesn't even seem relevant to the church - as they'll cut services first right now even as they sit like ticks on a torrent of breaks and funding.  It's a disingenuous mobsters argument that we only believe because, deep down, we know that they're mobsters and that they'll do it.  They'll prove it at our earliest convenience.

Right here in this thread we've had someone object that they shouldn't be forced to subsidize the church because the benefit does not go to things they value. I defy you to tell me that if that standard were applied to all 501(c)3 organizations, most of them would not be impacted.

The problem isn't whether the exemption uniquely benefits churches, but whether the objections to the exemption uniquely single out the church. Those that have been coherently argued often do not. Much of the opposition to the tax exemption of churches is little more than unfocused ranting.
