I doubt Elok attends services under a tent. I mentioned to Rah that property taxes would be a good way to go as that is one thing most in this industry have in common."I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow

Not in the US. Hell no. They'd probably burn you at the stake.
It's a moot point here. Most churches are watching their elderly congregations die off before selling the property to pay outstanding legal settlements."I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow

We're losing the big ones.
The muslims are doing well though.
Along with non-religious they are probably the fastest (and only) growing group."I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow

The real key is to separate the profit making scams of churches vs. the real thing. Plenty of non-profits result in the enrichment of the people who run them. Those should have their non-profit status revoked and the organizations and people who run them taxed accordingly.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man
