I guess I misspoke and it depends on how you define "losing status". These churches have accountants who must recommend that they not break the law.

I was more meaning on an individual church basis. If you can get pictures of your local church saying "vote Trump", then that specific church can lose their status. No church can survive it.

so what if I go to a local place that does readings and sells crystals and shit, what are the odds they sell? How rampant of a honeypot have I been missing out on?

I definitely look the part. If they sell, they'll sell to me.

The only wing of the government that enforces the separation of church and state is the IRS. If you can send them proof of political action or anything that violates 501(c)(3), the IRS will want that tax money SOOOO FAST.

Do you know what Taqqiya is? I'm not surprised the people trying to spread their religion or blend in with a new population are willing to lie to you, they're instructed to.

It's good that her friends supported her, but sex ed rather than purity culture could have prevented the issue entirely.
