Yes, the sooner we can reduce the amount of money that the soup kitchens, women's shelters, homeless shelters and neighborhood pantries run by these groups, the better. I'm so sick of them helping those in need.
once the admitted few start trying to dictate or even just influence legislation and lawmakers, in my mind, it makes that tax exemption pretty precarious.....

Tax them all.
This will obviously bring tons of revenue to the government....
Oh yeah, just tax them so instead of the religious places of worship helping the needy, that old reliable "efficient" and "effective" federal government can do it...not.
Oh J... You act as if there are no officially Christian countries in the world. We would be similar to the UK, Germany, Austria, etc.
A previous post you also mentioned the Nordic countries so................
here is a deal.
I'll support your Christian state as long as you also support the institution of universal healthcare, state paid involvement in education including job/university training, expanded maternity/paternity leave, greater environmental awareness, more time off for employees etc. All these things are an important part of theses countries.

Of course. You may have missed my previously thread advocating for all of that, including shorter working hours and only essentials open on weekends with shops being closed on Sundays.
Are you saying that some people are not superior because of their beliefs? At some point in time one who had the belief that the world was round wasn't superior over one who thought it was flat?
One correct and one incorrect, certainly.
Does being correct make someone superior to another? I would certainly never agree with that...
Again, why? Why do you need to waste money on religion symbols on public land? What do they do?
Validate Christians and make them feel superior to other's beliefs?
