I say tax (and regulate) all businesslike activities that a church engages in.
IE: Bingo, Daycare, Books, moneys paid for use of facilities, and other for profit activities.
Don't tax: Donations, items donated with a value less than $500.
If it is really a religion issue, why must these churches be so extravagant. Some are near to Saddams palaces. If they are in that much money, they can pay their fair share.
