Remove "advancement of religion" from the valid exempt purposes under Section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code

Created by J.V. on February 20, 2014

Religious organizations that cannot prove they contribute to their local, regional, or national communities should immediately lose their tax-exempt status.

The estimated $71,000,000,000.00* in taxes thus created each year could be used for education, rebuilding the infrastructure, or any other purpose besides lining the pockets of religious leaders who contribute nothing to the country otherwise.

“In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own. It is error alone that needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.” ~ Thomas Jefferson
