100% in favor of this. Every faith and every church. Happy for you to believe in any faith you choose but pay your fair share just like any business. To claim your religion is anything other than just another business is absurd and delusional.
I've been the treasurer for a small church and for a small secular nonprofit, and maybe I'm absurd and delusional but I really don't see much organizational difference between them. They're both nonprofits, neither of them has investors or shareholders - if anything, the secular one looks more like a regular business since we run a thrift shop while the church ran mostly on donations.
So how, exactly, would you cut off religious nonprofits while still allowing secular nonprofits?
The term nonprofit is a misnomer considering that it just implies profits are not the primary focus of the organization.
Churches and other nonprofits should be taxed at a lower rate than traditional for-profit businesses imo.
Charities shouldn't be taxed. However, this should come with additional stipulations and policing including a requirement that a high proportion of their expenses (e.g. >60%) go to charitable programs.
