I have been reading where the IRS has been investigating more churches for getting involved in Politics by indorcing canidates or by telling people to vote for people that have certain beleifs ( and other reasons) that violate IRS rules and regulatoins.
Does this not violate the churches constitutional rights, since the IRS is established by Congress, so the laws and rules the IRS has are endorced by Congress since they created the IRS.
So if they pass laws regulting and restricting religion is this not unconstitutional. Should not churches be free to give thier opinions on political matters.
Hi,
Many churches do give their opinions, from the pulpit as well, on many different political opinions.
I am sure some of the larger churches will bring things like this to court, sooner or later, depending on the actions of the IRS and other Gov't departments.
I agree with you that churches should have the constitutional right to give their own opinions on anything; ranging from abortion to who to support in the next local elections, based on spiritual and religious beliefs.

If churches really wanted to be consistent they should forego their 501c3 status . Do you really think thax exemption comes without strings attached ? Romans 13:7 clearly says to pay your taxes, so why should the stocks, bonds, and commercial real estate of churches be tax exempt ? It should not even be an issue . Progressive and Conservative churches all have a political agenda they promote . I have no problem with either . They are a part of the community and should have a say in the governance and decisions . But it would be better that when say Conservative Church activists campaign from the pulpit that they are not violating provisions of an unneeded subsidy from the government . It is unfair also to the taxpayer who does not share the beliefs of the church to subsidize it . "Almighty God has created the mind free. ... to compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical." Thomas Jefferson
Eliminating the tax exempt status would also free us of those self serving charlatans who purchase their credentials and set up shop as modern day Elmer Gantry's for the purpose of the financial gain .
I don't get it, they allow lobbyists to pay money to politicians but won't allow the church to endorse a candidate? Sounds like something that deserves a revolt. Lobbying leads to corrupt politicians and, IMO, should not be allowed.
