fairly tax religious churches that engage in politics where they attempt to sway congregation to one side or the other.

churches have a lot of power and they don't pay taxes. Which is fine if they stay within their founding religious beliefs. BUT once 'the leader' begins to preach his/her beliefs to the masses, it becomes politics and has no place in the church. People MUST BE free to make up their OWN mind and not be criticized or shamed by a religious figure for thinking differently. A leader of doctrine will manipulate a mentally deficient individual, and others to believe 'His/her' way is the correct way. Tax these churches like businesses should they participate in politics behind the podium.
