So does mine, but I won't. I'm sure that many others won't either!

Many religious people are just that religious and not Christian.

They should have their tax exempt status ripped away.

Any church that uses their pulpit to preach who to vote for should absolutely lose their tax exempt status, ANY CHURCH, white, Black, Baptist, Unitarian, Moslem or Jewish. If you are going to use your church to campaign then you are not using it for what it was intended and you should pay taxes.

In the southern baptist newsletter they constantly send me, the one thing they constantly bicker about more than anything is that they can't sue tax exempt church funds for political purposes or endorse a candidate without losing tax exempt status.

No. They run political commentary nearly every time they publish the newsletter, and they often complain about the tax exempt status thing.

It could backfire on them. A lot of people are asking themselves, after they hear that, "Why do we give them tax exempt status at all?"

Apparently, you are unfamiliar with the Muslim concept of the "ummah." And I can see where Christian theology would lean towards endorcing a candidate as well. For example, I heard a priest say to vote against I-1000 in WA State, because it is a right-to-die initiative, and the Church opposes that kind of stuff...
