Why should a church be considered "tax exempt"?  It seems then that
we'd have a problem defining religion (not "mainstream" religions,
but "cults").

I have always felt that churches should NOT be tax exempt, instead
they can file to be a non-profit organisation, and therefore tax
exempt.  The churches which attempt to make profit ought to pay
their share of taxes.
