I don't understand your reply, sorry. Freedom OF religion, yes, you can practice any religion you want. Nothing I said in any way says freedom FROM religion for you or me. The constitution is very clear the government can not pick a religion to promote or support. So, the question is, can the government give a religion a tax break. I say no, others say yes, we will see.
Yes, I personally believe there should be no such thing as tax exempt. But, let's not forget I am also in favor of reducing the 34,000 (or so) pages of federal tax code down to maybe a dozen or less.
