Sorry to hear that, it’s the same for us in Italy tho where our taxes are also used to support religious schools. Furthermore, churches and any business associated with the Catholic church do not pay any tax at all thanks to Mr. Mussolini and the lateranensi pacts who defined anything religious as exempted from state control or overview; so we are not only robbed by force through our taxes being distributed to catholic schools, but we are also robbed of all the missing income we could collect from church activities who turn a profit at the end of the month (and they are many, surprisingly priests seem to love money very much. Probably as much as jesoous)
we have this problem in the united states also. many municipal taxes take the form of property tax to pay for city general funds… but religious organizations are exempt from these taxes. and these churches take up a lot of square footage. they are vampires on the community.
they sure love to wrap themselves in jesus until you remind them of his words.
