#TaxChurches in fact all organizations that pay salaries above the poverty-level should be treated as regular businesses imo.
"The three liberal justices. Written by Sonia Sotomayor and joined by Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, the dissent noted that the decision was the first time in supreme court history that a business open to the public had been granted a constitutional right to refuse to serve people from a protected group."
Leave it to SCOTUS to remind the adherents of Pride Month that every June for the rest of their lives will be met with fear. It's not Obergefell, the one everyone was fearing, but a definite warning shot: religion in the United States matters more than civil liberties.
I can see the next twelve months of court decisions and legislators in red states perverting this to excoriate LGBT customers from all business as a result. For those who still doubt it -- look at today and see that the trans panic isn't enough: they are coming for ALL protected groups.

When Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries, a common complaint was, "but the church helps the poor!" Studies of medieval records found that only 6% of funds went toward helping the poor. Most of it went to construction projects and to support the lavish lifestyles of church leaders.
I think of this frequently in the context of taxing churches.

Anyone want to have fun at religions expense? (specifically churches) Here is some interesting information you might be interested to know...
#TaxTheChurces....NOW...they have become wholly political entities....and really have been for a long time.....
Last time I stepped inside a Catholic church and realized what a bunch of hogwash it all was.....
The priest (whom I had loved as a person) said to "his flock"..... I can't tell you who to vote for (2008 during Obama's first run) but...."I cannot in good conscience cast a vote for someone who supports abortion. ".....Duhhh...that's telling them who to vote for.

I did a double take. Thought it was Ted Cruz for a minute. But no, just another religion program discussing politics.

@transworld Why should their guidelines be anywhere NEAR public policy? Imagine the uproar if the government tried to regulate churches in the way that the churches would like to regulate all of US? #SeparateChurchAndState #NoTheocracy #TaxChurches

@emb I say religious corporation because that is what modern day churches are. Corrupt corporations that get away with paying no taxes. #TaxChurches #BullyElites #CancelBillionaires #ExposeTheChurch

If Christians hadn't put up with the corruption in their churches for so long than the modern GOP would have never come to this place in history they find themselves. #TaxChurches
@rchusid We’re also the richest country in the world. We can do both. #TaxTheRich, #TaxChurches, and close tax loopholes. Target them. We need our defense, especially now,
@flexghost my wife works in the lending department for a bank, and she’s currently working on a loan application for a church. She’s going over their financials the same way she would for a business, because… you know… the church is a business. #taxchurches

“the church has adopted an increasingly aggressive approach to survivors”
How can an organisation that chooses to victimise children in order to protect their assets call themselves Christian? #TaxChurches
