    How does BLM or planned parenthood qualify here?

    Especially when they’re directly opposed by one political side whereas church and charity is generally accepted by both sides?

    It’d be hard to find a BLM member that supports the Republican party for instance. It’s a massive conflict of interest. Same with planned parenthood.

    The difference is Republicans decided to make these organizations the enemy.

        I’d love to see Christians actually being Christians, honestly. Like Jimmy Carter does.

        There’s being “allowed” and then there’s being “taxed”

        While it’s probably not that main stream in us politics, the US is one to the few places one of the largest hedge funds gets to operate tax free because it’s owned by the LDS; and I’m pretty sure they just get picked on because they’re “cult-y”. Catholic Churches have massive investment accounts, most denominations will have something large.

        And then there’s the Bill Gates fund that is a giant tax shelter….
