    My local church puts out big signs in front telling you what to vote for. Regularly see cops attend that church. No one cares

      The police don’t enforce tax regulations. The IRS has its own people for that.

      Would you expect an IRS auditor to pull someone over for speeding? Of course not, that’s ridiculous.

        I don’t expect an IRS auditor will put their career on the line to tax a church, either. That’s a third rail for a government employee. And imagine how loudly the Republicans will squawk.

      All these church regular attendees are constantly being told what to do with their lives. “No abortion, no lgbt”, etc. I would say, even if they were not told who to vote for explicitly, they are still being told who to vote for implicitly.

      (Not saying what they doing is right, just saying how this whole religion thing works)
