Secular charities aren’t telling people that they are doomed to hell unless they follow their rules and worship their god. Hence the need to pay. Change their tax status.
The charity provided is oftentimes contingent on worship, therefore not it’s truly public. Even if that’s not always the case, if it’s done once to one person, then it’s not public. Have whatever ideology you like. That’s not my issue. It’s a free country. Where’s the hypocrisy in wanting religious organizations that generally creep into business and politics to pay taxes? That’s nonsense.
Furthermore, how the hell does paying taxes cripple you? People of low economic means pay more taxes than churches.
You don’t know anything about me buddy. You should chill.
I don’t have any problem with charitable works by you, your church or anyone else. All I said is churches should pay taxes. And they should. You’re complicating it way more than my intent, to the point that I’m now supposed to be bigoted and pathological. Lmao. Get a grip.
Churches also do a hell of a lot of damage too. Heck no one is perfect. I never insinuated getting rid of organized religion. But since you’re suggesting throwing out the baby with the bathwater, then I wholeheartedly agree.
Again you don’t know anything about me. Seems like you have a lot of prejudiced opinions though and simultaneously are openly and repeatedly calling me a bigot. Which is hilarious.
Churches, synagogues, satanic temples, mosques, any and all should pay taxes. Religion shouldn’t be tax-exempt . I don’t care what flavor.
It’s not anti-theist. It’s being fair. You want to exist, and preach the word of your holy book. Then pay taxes.
Oh you do charity that benefits any and everyone? Then discount that off the tax bill. That simple.
I hope you find whatever is actually bugging you and put it to rest. You shouldn’t be this intense about a random internet person’s opinion.

False. They are exempt from having to even prove the money is being used for charity… because they are churches. Unlike every other nonprofit.

Churches are not a public service.

… Exclusively to their church members. C’mon, that’s low hanging fruit.

Calling me a heathen and I’m the bigot? There’s no need to disparage atheists or non-believers.
And yes it’s for church members, like don’t even pretend. I don’t get why y’all have to lie so much if you supposedly have god on your side lmao.
Ok well good night. I’m done entertaining your trollish delusions.
