Pastors try to pick a tax fight with IRS: "This weekend, hundreds of pastors, including some of the nation’s evangelical leaders, will climb into their pulpits to preach about American politics, flouting a decades-old law that prohibits tax-exempt churches and other charities from campaigning on election issues.
The sermons, on what is called Pulpit Freedom Sunday, essentially represent a form of biblical bait, an effort by some churches to goad the Internal Revenue Service into court battles over the divide between religion and politics...."

The Religious Right is a political organization. If they want to preach from the pulpit, they should loose their tax advantages. If they want to be a 501 C let them be that.
I'm all for them loosing their tax status if they can't follow the rules. And it would help with the deficit seeing that there's some mega churches that probably make hundreds of thousands of dollars every year.
