Actually *ALL* churches (Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim and Mormon) should
not be tax exempt.  The only exception(s) I would make would be for church run
hospitals and schools - and then only for those activities directly related to those
hospitals and schools.

Hospitals perform a valuable public function, and church-run schools take some of the
load off of the public school system.
