Tax the churches!
Why should we not tax churches as we tax other institutions? Of what value to society is their tax exemption? They don't provide so much to charity as they do to proselytivation and their own upkeep.
This should now be a secular aim.
I doubt that churches do as much as government could do had it their tax moneys. Are there real reasons to continue the tax exemptions/
I see no reason to continue this policy as it doesn't cohere with separation of church and state and with no moneys for religious education through public schools.
I view churches like I do any lodge- fellowship with doctrination.
Society doesn't need them as vehicles of morality, of which many contravene !
Any amplication of this view would help.
Any dissent?

Children rank way above parental rights
We must not tolerate parents or others who endanger children with faith-healing.Children, whatever the parental belief, have the right to good health-care. Laws must deal with those miscreants who would endanger children with faith-healing and exorcism This hardly limits the parents' religious liberty,because this is not about their liberty but the health of the children. Parents can still themselves partake of those two abuses.
Healers who tell others to throw away medicines and such should face jail-time. This is such an abuse.Science finds no need for either and indeed finds them contrary to good medical practice.No one ever gives evidence for either anyway, just misinterpretations of evidence- remissions, sleight of hand and so forth.
I despise them all! It's bad enough with their theology but adding these practices adds to why one ought to be a gnu atheist!Ti's no begged queston nor a priori matter but a requirment for real evidence.
