One of my hopes
If we can get back control of power is to look into church organizations direct involvement in politics, revoking their tax exempt status. I'm speaking specifically about people like Pat Robertson.

1. Yep. I wish we could tax 'em all.
These tax-exempt mega-monstrosity-churches make me want to puke.

3. Each church should be looked at individually
My religious order is forbidden to take part in politics as an organization, though individuals are free to participate, as long as they don't say they are doing it in the name of the Order.
