Religion, like charitable foundations, has become big business and tax havens for those who run them.

So my answer is they should remain tax exempt.

It is the parents job to encourage / denounce / educate / indoctrinate when it comes to Religion not the Public. <br /><br />Wonderful thing that two edge sword lol.
