Churches are not restricted per se. If you want Uncle Sam's tax exemption, you take his terms for the tax exemption. That applies whether you are a church or a soup kitchen - or at least it is supposed to.
I personally think that the entire structure of campaign finance laws should be overhauled with an emphasis on disclosure rather than prohibition. But tax exempt status is an entirely different animal.
False! Churches are restricted. LBJ had that restriction pushed through in the 60's to keep pastors and churches from addressing political issues and candidates from the pulpit. Until then there were no restrictions. Churches were tax exempt following a tradition by governments dating to the middle ages. Until the 60's there were no such restrictions of speech on churches by the gubmint.

That is a totalitarian means to an end, and no such strings are permitted under the Constitution.
Again, what you promote is unconstitutional. Are you a liberal? You sure sound like one.
