    Taxes. Why are we subsidizing or exempting religions that just lie to us?

    All religions have their own Gods and be you a believer or not, you pay taxes to support them, ---- and all they return, except for a bit of social babysitting, ---- is lies.

    Are you fed up with the Noble Lie of your governance and should these lying churches stop feeding from your wallet while your government use them against you?

    I can appreciate some of the ancient logic for propagating churches and religions and the Noble Lie. I think that that logic no longer applies as our communication systems have become global and instant and churches are no longer required to supplement our social safety nets and that they have become superfluous and redundant.

    Should your tax support for these lying churches and competing Gods be ended?

    Are we bright enough to rid ourselves of the Noble Lie that we feed ourselves?

    Why are you subsidizing religions that just lie to us?

    Would you like to end churches and other tax exempt entities from taking your hard earned dollars and returning nothing or are churches still required in our modern societies?

    Regards

    The theory is that they are providing a non profit benefit to society.

    I think they are lying to bring profit to themselves. Why else would they lie and why should non-believers pay the tax share that those liars are not paying.

    Do universities also want tax benefits for lying to students?
