re: #17 b_sharp

Religion has a privileged position in our society so we are supposed to handle it with kid gloves.

We should be treating organized religion as we do any business.

Tax them?

Force them to operate like a business, doing their damndest to run a profit sufficient to cover the property taxes, the business license, the legal costs of defending the fraud charges?

Require them to hire without regard to religion? And not set any peculiar moral standards or insist upon any kinky stuff like circumcision or celibacy?
