What do you think would be the most effective way to tax religions?
How many times do they have to tax the same money ? Money is taxed because we earned it . Money is taxed when it is spent , to buy anything . Why should money also be taxed when it is given away ? Because if churches are required to pay taxes , then all charities will also be taxed .
A church per se is not a charity. It is a business "owned" ostensibly by the congregation or the religion's home office. In the case of the church owned by the congregation, they hire somebody to provide them a service -- income tax and employer's share plus living wage, healthcare, etc. Churches owning properties should also pay taxes on those. They work an incredible number of cons that produce unreported income.
They should pay the same taxes as any other business.
if they are gonna preach politics they should pay
None of the options above..now when it comes to a mandatory donation that is not a donation when the word banditry is introduced it is a sale period

Are not Religions merely a kind of Profits from 'Prophets' business to say the very least?
Since they sell nothing that is factual or tangible but still profit from these sales ( scams as any person with even an ounce logic would call them) then they should be TAXED to the hilt since prosecution for conducting such blatant SCAMS is totally out of the question as it presently stands.
