I'm fine with churches and other non-profits being tax exempt as long as they remain apolitical. As soon as an organization chooses to enter the political realm by taking a stand on an issue which the state has pending legislation, or has legislated on previously, that organization is now acting as a de facto political body -- that is, a lobbying organization, of sorts, and as such should no longer qualify for tax exempt status.

Does that answer you question?

You hadn't asked the question previously that I can see, ergo there was nothing that I was ignoring.
