19. Nonsense. It would just remove a "special right" granted to religions whereby...
they are treated as charities while, in fact, most of the money they raise
goes solely to maintain the religion and a large part of what's left is
spent on political campaigns.

As I said, let them simply form suitably-incorporated 501(c)3 and
501(c)4 sub-divicions, JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER NON-PROFIT MUST DO.

After all, many churches have been speaking out very loudly against
the granting of "special rights", so it seems only fair that they shouldn't
enjoy any.
