I've always wondered what it takes to get a tax exemption as a "religion"....

I've been thinking of starting a religion that focuses on financial and economical success in order to get into heaven....

As a Christian, I have come across alot of anti Christian stuff but when the government starts to tell churches what to say, that is not good.

I don't care about Heaven, I just want to set up my own religion with a bunch of morons and a few chosen ones(good friends) so I can get rich without paying taxes

They can say whatever they want, unless they want to be tax-exempt: which essentially is taking money from the federal government, who then has every right to regulate their political actions. They knew that when they signed up, and consciously violated election laws.

They should simply forfeit their exemption if they want to be politically active and not be neutral. I as a taxpayer, do not want to effectively subsidize the electioneering of delusional zealots for their favorite candidate.
