Should churches, synagogues, mosques, etc pay taxes? Conclusion reached.

I think they should definitely pay taxes. Or at least ones that make a certain % more than their overhead costs, like land, electricity etc. Edit: Because this was mostly me asking the flood, I decided to research it more. This is the best info I have I found http://churchesandtaxes.procon.org/ So my final conclusion is that if religious institutions were paying taxes it would cause a breach in the separation of church and state, and it would create a large conflict of interest. So at this juncture it seems things are better left as is.

  • Here's the problem - some churches and religious organizations want to influence legislation. If you want to have a place in the political process, you shouldn't be exempt from taxation.
