If you tax all churches equally, it's not an infringement. If you tax the Catholics at 1%, and the Baptists at 10%, and the Muslims at 50%, and the Wiccans at 90%, then you're crossing a line.

I have no problem taxing churches, however I don't expect that to happen any time soon. I do think that any church that wishes to maintain a tax-free status should be required to allow the public to examine their books.
