How about removing tax exemption for religious institutions? I don't think they definitively do more good than people in general. Looking at Proposition 8 in California, we all see quite a bit of money spent on marketing by the Mormon LDS church. They sought the proposition created to prevent citizens from participating in marriage based on their sexual orientation. This strays so far away from personal freedom our constitution was designed to protect. Why should this organization at the very least not have to contribute with taxes? It should be up to it's supporters to keep it financially afloat, not the American people.
"I don't know that Atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God." - George Bush Sr.
Does that sound right to you?
