Freedom of religion is one of the most important features of American Society. As a student of American history I discovered a very long time ago that our forefathers felt strongly in the neccessity for a strictly secular government. Many disscussions were held on the wording of our Constitution. The mention of "God" was delibertly left out. I certainly hope the IRS investigates these offending churches and removes their tax exempt status. If they want to be politically active, then let them pay taxes just like everyone else!
