It's getting time to ban tax exemptions for religion.
Fool's are everywhere, including churches.
Separation of church and state?
can you say inquisition ?
can I get a Hallelujah ?
Why does .gov holding hands with any church make me nervous ?
.gov to church = we like your message about climate change, here's some money.

I believe churches think this is what the congregants want so they are willing to please.

Because the EPA wants to use churches as mouthpieces? I think you are missing the point. Some may fall for it. Some may not. They should still be free to make that choice without any imposition. Taxes are a tool for coercion, and as such, should not be applied to religion.
The real issue is why is .gov even contemplating this? It's a .gov problem - not a religion problem.
