I thought churches lost their tax exempt status if they engaged in political activities.
Is that not true?
Does somebody need to point that out to them?
You said — I thought churches lost their tax exempt status if they engaged in political activities.

Some IRS documentation for churches...

I don’t think that they were preaching from the pulpit to their congregations. I don’t believe they are prohibited from participating individually (outside of their church) in other political events.
But, see what that documentation in the IRS publication says. It’s supposed to be a handbook for churches.
“I thought churches lost their tax exempt status if they engaged in political activities”
Not when they support the liberal socialist agenda. Speak out against abortion, gay rights, immigration, freedom of religion, etc. and hyour church will be driven to the edge by the IRS.
However, you need to look at what churches (?) are really signing on to this bunk. Most (many) are so liberal that they can hardly be classify as a Christian church.
