Quote:Charities are not specifically enumerated as free of government restriction. Whether or not a church is a charity is irrelevant, religion is not open to government regulation and what we currently have is unconstitutional.

There are plenty of laws on the books that grant tax free or tax relief status to non profits and charities fall under those.

As for churches the first amendment says nothing about taxation. As far as I understand it has been interpreted as saying the government can enact no laws either promoting or restricting religion. The 1st doesn't say anything about them not paying taxes. That comes from being a non profit. So yeah, whether a church is a charity is very relevant.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;"
