Because they give up their First Amendment rights in order to get kickbacks from the Federal Government and their members can get tax deductions on their donations...
As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, the Treasury Department and the Small Business Administration have loosened restrictions on many of their lending and grant programs to include participation by churches and non-profit organizations.
For the purposes of these programs, churches are considered 501(c)(3) organizations and are directed to claim this designation on their SBA application, as long as they meet the following requirements:
• the organization must be organized and operated exclusively for religious, educational, scientific or other charitable purposes;
• net earnings may not inure to the benefit of any private individual or shareholder;
• no substantial part of its activity may be attempting to influence legislation;
• the organization may not intervene in political campaigns; and
• the organization’s purposes and activities may not be illegal or violate fundamental public policy.
Note that the entities administering these programs – including the Small Business Administration and lending institutions across the country – are currently facing a significant influx of applications.

It's not "first amendment rights." We don't have "privileges" granted us by government; we have Natural Rights endowed to us by our creator. The Bill of Rights doesn't give us our rights; it acknowledges the rights we already have, and (ideally) makes it so the government cannot take them away from us.
And declaring your organization a 501(c)3 means you're voluntarily agreeing to give up those rights.
What do you fail to understand here?
Yes. You literally are forced to send your Service Plans, Sermons, and more over to the IRS for approval.
No.
I guess my comment went nowhere.
Not true.
It's totally true.
Read the First Amendment and tell me again why a church has to register with the government for ANYTHING.
What part of NO LAW do you not understand?
By Easter they will be calling out that 501c3 on any false information... then we'll see who stands or bows down.
So you're Date Fagging the takedown of churches now? Can we call you out on that on Easter Sunday or will you just claim you never said it?
Do you have evidence to back up your claim or are you just going to disagree?
What isn't true? Deboonk it for us.
Jesus is really upset his grift is coming to an end lol
