US homelessness up 12% to highest reported level as rents soar and coronavirus pandemic aid lapses
  • Not quite. Churches are exempt from many taxes, but not all, as a part of the separation of church and state.

    Churches do need to pay their share of FICA, Social Security, and other income-related taxes. Clergy are also required to pay income taxes, though they are permitted some tax-exempt benefits, most notably church-provided housing.

    That being said, I'd completely agree with removing tax-exempt status from churches that breach the separation of church and state, beginning with those that outright tell their members who to vote for.
