Keep the Church out of Politics
Keep the Church's influence out of legislating new laws, or re-introducing old laws, in accordance to their beliefs, or risk losing their tax-exempt status
Why is this important?
The church is walking a fine line by getting many organizations to heavily fund political/civil matters, such as privacy issues and marriage equality to name a few. They are also actively seeking church members to sign petitions in their favor regarding these issues on church property. If they are going to continue to influence legislation by these measures, they should lose their tax exempt status.The reason we left England, to establish a new country, in the first place, was not only freedom of religion, but freedom from religious influences regarding dictation of law.
