Tax exemption is not a right granted by the Constitution.

Irrelevant. What's at issue here is that the Federal Gov't is meddling in areas it oughtn't, as it hasn't the right, using financial blackmail to marginalise and destroy those whos speech or beliefs the Feds find unduly irritating or irreverent.

If the Government has decided it will give certain churches tax exemptions, why shouldn't it be able to dictate the parameters that qualify one for said exemption?

Because the use of such differences creates an economic distortion favoring certain outcomes designed for the maintainence of the State. The State exists to serve the People, not the other way around.

BS. When market distortions are weilded as a club to crush certain speech or religious belief while propping up others, the religious freedom of the group being distorted against has been infringed upon.
