Once again, guys, Churches are non-profit organizations....how one feels about the societal worth of their 'spiritual charity' is irrelevent, and you can't remove tax-exempt status for churches without removing tax-exempt status for all other non-profit organizations (including the apparently hypocritical Society for Secular Humanism).

Besides, handicapping non-profit organizations (advocacy-oriented or otherwise) in such a manner would only increase and further entrench the power of government and corporations in society.
