Do you want to hear something really fucked up? The extensive protections we've granted to churches is now being abused by dark-money groups and lobbying firms so they no longer have to file 990s or disclose donors. The Family Research Counsel (partially famous for supporting the death penalty for homosexual activity in Uganda) is now a registered Church - and their lobbyist leader, David Perkins is the head of this supposed religion according to what they filed with the IRS: https://www.propublica.org/article/family-research-council-i... If you're asking how they do political activities when that's still (on paper) illegal for churches -- they have a separate organization with the same employees, board, leadership, and address called FRC Action that handles their political activity with "different" dollars. |
