YOU can help make churches PAY TAXES like the rest of us! Well, at least some PROPERTY TAXES, etc.
How? Gather evidence on their commercial/business dealings (renting buildings, parking lots, billboards, etc., which are NOT religious-based transactions and thus should NOT be exempt from property tax, perhaps income tax, etc.). Gather evidence then REPORT THEM to the tax authorities, to the news media (contact their news desks, write letters to the editor, etc).
Far more important than the money that churches will have to pay is the fact that peaceful activism like this helps break the religious spell that our country is under. Peaceful actions like these show that religions should NOT be allowed to break the law. They should obey the laws like the rest of us. Each symbolic chip in their pedestals helps remove them from their status of holding special privileges above the rest of us.
If you follow this call to action, or have similar ideas to share, post your comments below.
IF you support the Separation of Church and State, I suggest that you support or join the following:
FFRF: the Freedom From Religion Foundation:
http://www.ffrf.org
American United for the Separation of Church and State: http://www.au.org/
Secular Coalition for America:
http://www.secular.org/
American Atheists:
http://www.atheists.org/
(Note: none of the above organizations were in any way involved in the making of this video, but they are excellent groups for defending the Separation of Church and State, and if you care about this then you should consider giving them your support.)
