Ahhh.. That makes sense then. Obviously if someone is calling a political organization a "church" for the purpose of making campaign contributions a tax deduction, that's an issue.
It's always irked me that a donation to (usually well off) politicians gets better tax treatment than a donation to an actual charity here in Canada. Sounds like thats an election financing rule the US got right.
