Quote: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;"

A "typical" church is both a non-profit and a charity. Churches don't charge money for their services and do help people in need.

There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't.
