70. the biggies should definitely be put under review for behaving like a non-profit or not, but,
the majority of groups organized to praise their higher power should be left alone from the govt, in the same way, the govt shouldn't be including the religious opinions of some, in govt. decision. The 'religious' area is rife with fraud, it doesn't mean there's not thousands of churches who don't help people every day or week with no expectation of the needy paying attention to what the church believes. It's not good when you've got thousands of fraudulent preachers/churches, but that's what fraud investigations are for, to maintain tax free status they need to prove they're not for profit. I won't even get started on the grotesque mega churches (those with more their fancy 50 million dollar buildings and such... Good bunch of discussion.
