Religious Organizations can file for a 501(c)(3) tax exemption at this point in time, which classifies them as a 'charitable organization.' However, we personally in the United States are seeing churches preaching politics from the pulpit, attempts at 'altering' one's opinions in the past election, hate speech in particular churches, and money going toward material desires rather than charity to those who need it, i.e. food banks and causes to help the poor. We personally of the 'Tax the Church' Movement would like to see churches being taxed in the future - if they are donating to charity and participating in activities that would have reasonable cause to lead them to being exempt even after the fact, then there will be proof through documentation rather than guessing.
