Good News Everyone

I made it abundantly clear that I feel religious institutions should be taxed. You are the one trying to say that it makes me bigoted somehow. You are also assuming I agree with an anarchist group, when I have said no such thing. I just think they should be able to spread their views as they help people, because they aren't a religion. I think anarchism in practice is usually a stupid concept. Don't worry though, I'm not going to use your assumptions about me to presume bigotry.

If a religious group has a charity branch that doesn't proselytize or encourage people to attend services, that specific branch shouldn't be taxed.

If there is a group that feeds hungry people or builds homes, while also pushing for people to vote and participate in our electoral processes, then I don't think they should be taxed. It doesn't make me bigoted to say that trying to convince someone of something practical they can use in their life or to change their society is different than preying on people with your unverifiable beliefs. There are thousands of religions. A lot of them do a ton of charity work, but that isn't their main goal. Just as we tax businesses and allow them tax breaks for charitable work, we should do the same for religions.
