As I understand it, churches can endorse candidates, but it costs them tax exempt status.
There are also a lot of churches with predominantly one race, like black/white/etc. Such social segregation must be stopped and regulated. Let the government fix it. If churches can't get with government's flow, penalize them. Or only white churches..
Now future comprehensive arguments on this can snowball further.
"Churches should be taxed because they are not charities. They are very much businesses."
"Churches should be regulated because they deal in hate speech, fraud, and continuously harbor child molesters"
If pastors rake in money and use it for their own vain wants, it's fraud. Government should place signs and info pamphlets within the church to increase awareness against fraud, hate speech, bigotry, etc.
As my Sig suggests, this thread is a notion I'm entertaining.
What you may find scary, is that I used these points from my Knee-liberal college colleagues. Do you think this can't happen? It is very slowly gaining momentum. Stay vigilant.
Should churches be defunded? If I recall they believe, iirc, taxpayer money. Or do they pay no taxes?
Isn't it also true that churches, especially large churches, are run like businesses? Tax it. Iirc, I once saw a church worker bring a wheelbarrow down the aisle for tithes. This is true.
These pseudo-businesses require tithes up to 10%. Perhaps catholicism can be an exception because it's a donation system.
Do you think the government should regulate preaching, like monitoring for hate speech against homosexuals and prostitutes? Should churches be entirely defended? Taxed? Or the tithe system abolished?
Should they be dealt with?

You should not tax churches just like the constitution says.
The constitution stands firm, this won't happen.
"The constitution is an old piece of paper."
"It's a living document."
Look at history. What is politics? It is naive to think it cannot happen slowly but surely.
There is always that possibility. There's also the possibility of being shot for implementing such a thing.

Thousands of people are suckered into forming over millions of dollars. It's ludicrous that pastors work over the crowds and live lavishly. Ever noticed how a lot of "humble" pastors live? Expensive cars, clothes, suits?
Think about it.
And, like the gun control debate, it will surely stop them.
