It's simple. Separation of chuch and state. If these right-wing churches want to push politics, make them pay by removing their tax exempt status.
Why is this important?

I am so tired of hearing how a person's right to choose his or her religion is above my fundamental rights as a citizen of this great country. By allowing churches to preach politics from their pulpits, they infringe on my rights and should have to pay taxes. They want to "vote" by opening their mouths and telling their congregations who to vote for and what to support, they need to pay with their pocketbooks, just like the rest of us.
