President Donald Trump on Thursday falsely claimed he had eliminated a provision of the U.S. tax code that bans 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, including churches, from endorsing or opposing political candidates.
Religion really isn’t expressed or represented in the government though.
Trump and the current administration do nothing BUT break the 1st, 2nd,(why is “in God we Trust” on the currency if we’re obedient to Him?) 5th, 6th, (Trump’s an expert on breaking this one) 7th, 8th,(and HOW!) 9th and 10th (Greenland anyone?) commandments.
The tax exemptions were written to keep religion in it’s own lane as when religion enters government, the government then also enters into religion and inevitably it corrupts it, and that was the fear.
Religion isn’t the corrupting influence… politics is.
The thing is are they not all have prayer gatherings and laying hands on trump and speaking tongues.
I doubt that. Trump couldn’t get his ass out of bed early enough to show up at any prayer breakfast. They are early morning before government opens for the day. He’s probably still asleep, as most nights he’s up until the wee hours posting on Truth Social.
He’s famously non-religious, and just wears any piety like a cheap costume.
Dude was on TV for years, so he knows how to shuck and jive and play the part for the rubes.
I’m pretty sure religion is well represented in government hence the tax exemptions.

I think what it boils down to is if it’s the wrong religion not their nice one that likes Donald then they’re coming after the tax exempt status.
I wholeheartedly agree religion should stick to its own lane and remain the emotional support for the people that believe in it.
