We ask that you end tax exempt status for ALL religious organizations and affiliates. Due to their exemption status, these groups are able to use funds collected to support agencies that cause strife and are detrimental, if not harmful to a community. Such programs include non-certified counseling, conversion therapy, and work-therapy programs. In addition, many groups use the donations and collections to contribute and push political agenda that would be unsupported by the community at large. It is estimated that religious organizations exemption costs $71,000,000,000 yearly.
