Churches aren't taxed because they are non-profits. They provide services to the community.
I draw the line at tax exempt status. I don't support "faith based initiatives" or anything like that.
MojoPeiPei - Atheists don't really have a "church" that engages in charitable activities, however, you'd be hard pressed to prove that athiests exhibit lower participation in activities that benefit the community (charities, community service, and the like) than do religious folk. There is no "Motherfucking Teresa" of atheism, but then again, most atheists don't advertise their beliefs. Moreover, plenty of harm has been done in the name of religion. There haven't been any atheistic wars.
That's a whole other can of worms, but I couldn't let you get away with that ignorant and dishonest assertion.
