    Yes, they should not pay takes for money they can justify they used for charity.

    Building mega-churches, having expensive cars and jets is not charity.

      Building mega-churches, having expensive cars and jets is not charity.

      That’s also extremely uncommon in almost all churches/denominations. The overwhelming majority of churches in the USA are mainstream denominations.

        What exactly do you mean by mainstream? Evangelicals are the largest branch of Christianity in America. Hell white evangelicals alone are 13 percent of all Americans which is tied for the largest group of all.

          Evangelical churches are not a single denomination but rather are a collection of unaffiliated churches.

          The reality is the mega church that owns private jets is extremely uncommon.

              The Vatican isn’t a mega church. Almost no one in Roman Catholicism is using a private jet.

                  I don’t know why you would think tha assessment has any credibility. You aren’t going to know what they have and frankly that isn’t relevant to taxation as we don’t tax wealth.

                    we don’t tax wealth.

                    We don’t, but civilized countries do.
