An established religion? A tax ID? Sounds like it's government promoting

I'm not in favor of any tax breaks for religions. If they can stand on
their own, fine. If not, too bad.


That will open it's own can of worms, and how does that fit with the
First Amendment's "the free exercise thereof"?



Not sure I follow... I don't think any religious organization should be tax
exempt. Did you think I wrote something else?
