I don’t really think churches should be obligated to fix a problem that the government created and can fix. Religion sucks but they still have a right to not be drafted without compensation.
I don’t know why this tax thing is such a big deal for people. Sure the RCC, the Mormons, and some of the prosperity preacher have money but the vast majority of religious institutions can’t keep the lights on. Which is why they have to do partnerships to do basic stuff like insurance.
I am much more pissed off at corporations having an entire dedicated staff just to get tax breaks and credits than I am at some congregation of 15 old people not paying taxes. Hell one of the churches I was at before I deconverted had an annual budget of 9k. Would it even be worth going after that little bit?

If they paid taxes, maybe, but imo they are being compensated already for something they aren’t even doing.
