Ugh. I regularly attend a church and I enjoy the fellowship and connection - but if a pastor specifically endorsed a candidate (right or left) from the pulpit, I'd leave. I recall a number of conservative churches in the area where I grew up making a big deal of pushing the IRS, daring them to enforce the law (this was the 1990s) - nothing happened to them, and it was very clear they were saying: God wants you to vote for X. Just gross.
Hmm, now will they pay taxes?
This makes churches more polarized and more racially segregated than ever.
More trump bullshit
US - separation of powers is the law of the land. IRS is doing is vial.
They are openly pushing against the Constitution to see if it breaks!
The separation of church & state is protection for the churches!! Just look at the massive damage maga has already caused to Christian churches.
I fully agree. State and church should be separated and the state should stop supporting the churches with tax money.

Why does the IRS make that decision?
