Religions cannot be taxed or exempted. religious organizations can be and are.
REMOVE faith based teaching? In New Haven in the 50s there was no faith-based teaching in the public schools [and little or none visible in Episcopal Sunday School - and none at home].
Surely you meant to say MOVE all atheists TO Munchkinland?
I will type slowly so that you can follow along...
Religions own the tax-exempt properties. Taxing the properties would mean taxing the religions.
Removal of faith-based teaching in one obscure corner of the plante does not remove it everywhere.
Since neither Munchkinland or Oz exists, there can be no Atheists in those places. Stop trying to change what I say to support your ego.
PLIZZ to read it the Anglic. Religions do NOT own any thing. What does Communism, or Atheism, or patriotism, or science, or even idiocy own? An ideology, a set of practices, a mindset does not own property. A religious organization - which is NOT a religion [that last ids three syllables and may be beyond you - may own property.
Before you claim I am twisting your words learn to read. It helps if you take the blinkers off and stop talking long enough to listen.
