Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    My unpopular opinion is that people who keep throwing this stupid idea around have no clue what they’re talking about.

    Religions / churches are non-profits. Their only revenue is post-tax donations. The people who work at the non-profit churches still pay income tax. The moment you start taxing a church, you allow them to function as a corporation. Not taxing churches is a fundamentally great thing.

      Any donations churches make as an entity to political organizations should either

      A: be taxed at 50–70% before reaching the candidates, with the money being rolled into local community services

      Or

      B: lose their non-profit status and be required to register as a political entity

        Churches are already prohibited from donating to a political campaign.
