Quote:The problem is, you are giving the power to grant tax exempt status to an entity that is driven by money and politics.   If the IRS refuses to grant tax exempt status to anyone, they are hauled before congress and berated for it.   (Sometimes justifiably so, but still...)

It would devolve into a highly political process.   What is a mega-church?   How do I avoid mega-church classification?   More jobs for the experts who advise you on how to avoid becoming taxable.   More pages in the tax code to deal with the details.    How many churches will be built with 1,999 seats because 2,000 seats makes you a mega-church?   The details and complications are only limited by your imagination.

Is there a way to avoid all the complications with a simple rule that would accomplish what you want?

Yes, end taxation of entities and replace it with an individual consumption tax.
