[Vision2020] Religious Tax Exemption

[John Danahy]

The recent tussle over tax exemptions given to NSA and Anselm house have
given me reason to pause and think about the nature of religion and
organized religious communities.  What is organized religion but the selling
of one version of the word of God?  Why should organized religion, which
owns property, "sells" religion for money, pays compensation, be treated
differently form other businesses?

 

The time has come to put an end to tax exemptions for organized religion.
They should be treated the same as all other businesses on the Palouse,
including being given the opportunity to build in the Alturas Park.
