As I already explained to Spexx: walking through the door, being a member, giving any dollar amount, or taking part in the church services do not give you either forgiveness or salvation. You have no idea how an average local church operates.

I would be willing to bet that 80% of a church's attendees have been to a wedding or funeral at that location, and/or received a positive, comforting experience from their attendance. That's what they came for and that's what they got, just like a theatre performance.

So the local bar should also be tax-free.
