Churches are funded by donations and fundraisers, and they provide services to the community that wanted a church. Most of them can hardly afford to stay open even without taxes. Taxing churches essentially punishes religion; that’s how it would be interpreted. You’d have riots and more people hurt.

i think what we’re talking about here isn’t those types of churches, but the ones run by millionaires with private jets and who like to involve themselves in politics.

We can’t tax churches without taxing all churches, unless we’re specifically discouraging large churches and encouraging churches to remain small, which (while not a bad idea) would be more than overstepping the government’s own limitation of not mixing church and state. It’s a lose-lose situation.
