It is explicitly against the rules to have the tax-free 5013c and endorse a political candidate.

If the churches explicitly endorse or oppose specific candidates, whether it's Joe Biden, Donald Trump, or Ross Perot, they are in violation of their tax-free status.

Now, you are of course free to disagree with the rules, but that's what the rules are as of right now.

Personally, I think it's a reasonable place to draw a line.
