Advocating for Fair Taxation and Religious Accountability

Welcome to Tax Your Church, where we believe in fairness, accountability, and transparency. Our mission is to challenge the tax-exempt status granted to religious organizations and push for laws that ensure all entities contribute fairly to society. While religion holds personal value for many, we aim to level the playing field by advocating for tax policies that prevent religious institutions from avoiding their financial obligations, which puts an undue burden on taxpayers.

We stand for creating a system where all organizations—regardless of religious affiliation—contribute to the welfare of the communities in which they operate. By calling for the taxation of churches, we strive to curb the negative influence of wealth and power that some religious organizations exert on political systems, public policy, and legislation.

Why Tax Churches?

The tax-exempt status granted to religious organizations is a massive financial loophole that costs taxpayers billions each year. With this tax exemption, churches and religious institutions enjoy significant privileges while contributing nothing to local infrastructure, education, or public services.

Key issues we address:

  • Financial Inequality: Churches often amass significant wealth, yet remain exempt from taxes, while working families and small businesses are burdened with paying their share.
  • Political Influence: Religious organizations, enjoying their tax-exempt status, often use their resources to influence public policy, pushing agendas that undermine democratic processes.
  • Lack of Accountability: Many religious groups are allowed to operate without the same financial oversight required of other tax-exempt organizations, potentially contributing to corruption and abuse.

Our Mission

We are dedicated to advocating for the end of religious tax exemptions that allow these organizations to evade paying taxes while benefiting from public services. Our efforts aim to protect the separation of church and state and promote an equal playing field where all organizations contribute to society.

Our key goals include:

  • Amending the Tax Code: To remove or limit the special tax exemptions currently afforded to religious organizations.
  • Ensuring Fairness: Ensuring that all groups, regardless of their beliefs, contribute equitably to public funding that supports services for everyone.
  • Restoring Accountability: Encouraging financial transparency within religious institutions, ensuring that donations and revenues are used in a way that benefits their communities, not political campaigns or private wealth.

The Negative Impact of Tax Exemptions

While some religious institutions provide important social services, many others misuse their tax-exempt status. Here’s why we believe it’s time for a change:

  • Abuse of Power: Large religious institutions have used their wealth to manipulate political processes, pushing legislation that serves their interests while undermining the rights of others.
  • Financial Burden on Taxpayers: Religious groups have access to billions of dollars in tax-free revenue, leaving the burden of financing public services on regular taxpayers.
  • Lack of Oversight: These organizations often operate with minimal scrutiny, creating opportunities for financial abuse and corruption that would be unacceptable in other sectors.
