Property tax is one issue. Though it is a smaller issue.
$1,000 in property taxes, while the same church may be funneling $1,000,000 in gross cash receipts?
If that $1,000,000 is being spent to feed the hungry, to house the poor, and to treat the infirm; then great!
However often times only a small portion of a church's gross income goes to anything charitable.
Salaries, benefits, vehicles, expense accounts, and political activism.
