I don't think any church that allows its leadership to use the pulpit to preach a political agenda should be tax exempt. They are supposed to be worrying about your immortal soul not your vote.

It just seems to me that this political agenda in churchs really took off in the 1960s in the US and it appears to me it was largely in the South, dealing with civil rights. I'm not saying that it never happened before and it's quite possible that it started back in the 1940's with WWII. I haven't researched it.

I also don't believe in the Pope adopting a political message either -- so I'm not just against extreme Christian Right Wingers.
