I suppose at that point the charitable work many churches do would be brought up, however.
I think this is the best plan.. many churches seem to operate like a business and roll in the big bucks, why should they not be taxed?

If they want to do charitable work tax free, roll up a charity just like a non-religious group would have to.

There's already a system setup to make sure the charity isn't self serving or whatever, so this solves the problem of buddy setting up a church so he can get an extra holiday and tax free nachos.
