49. they will scream they deserve a political voice because they are paying for it
Obviously actual churches do have a political voice these days. You mentioned some large examples. There are smaller ones.
So let them pay a "minimum" tax or a special tax or something and make sure they are carefully monitored so they do not stray. Of course if the Government would grow a spine and actually make some big religious organization who has been politically active pay their taxes, the others would scale it back. Money talks and it screams where religion is concerned.
