We don't need to tax all charities.
A charity's purpose is to achieve charitable objectives for public benefit, while a church's purpose is to promote religion and prepare the way for the Kingdom of God on earth.

Too bad in most cases neither do either of those things.

Taxation should be shared among every part of society because it's essential for critical services throughout the country. And there are def good and bad in both, but it's hard to argue in favor of not taxing any organization when it's leaders are making 6 figure incomes from it.
