A Proposal: Remove All Privileges of Religious Organizations that Exceed

[qazplm135]

16. Can't agree with 2

We have privileges for very specific reasons. Attorney client is one of the strongest but it's not the only one. I would continue excluding a confession to a priest/religious figure. The reason we have it is ostensibly the religious figure will convince the wrongdoer to turn themselves in. You remove the privilege, then folks will be much less likely to confess to a religious figure.

I'm not sure why 3 is a big deal.

Not sure what you mean by 4, you'd need to expand for me to have an opinion.

We don't tax non-profits. So if a church operates as a non-profit, why would we tax it? If a church is operating as a for-profit enterprise, reasonable minds can disagree, but as another poster said, it's complicated...there's two parts to the 1st Amendment, and they directly conflict, and fidelity to one can often mean violation of the other.
