Actually, the USSC says that basically tax exemption for churches it is not in the Constitution and that churches can be taxed if the government decides to tax them.

"The Supreme Court has made clear that a tax exemption is neither prohibited

nor required under the First Amendment’s free-exercise and establishment

clauses. The Walz Court said that the long history of tax exemption for

religious organizations in no way creates an entitlement to any such exemption."
