Here is is why they should stay tax exempt.

When are you married? Is it when the church or the state says you are married?
Separate church from state!
FAMILY Marriage should only be a religious church function between men and women.
Gays can sign a business contract and decide who gets the hammer.
Gays should never raise children - they can't provide a normal family.

The first marriage was performed by God so it isn’t pagan. Jesus performed his first miracle at a marriage. It doesn’t have to be pagan unless you want it to be. Rings don’t even have to be exchanged if you don’t want that. No one has to get dressed up or have brides maids. No one has to wear white. You can get married in your home wearing normal clothes and just a couple of witnesses.

 Quoting: WyatteSmith

Looks like they added an amendment to the bill to protect churches from this.

Tillis Helps Secure Robust Religious Freedom Protections in The Respect for Marriage Act


The Senators’ bipartisan amendment:

- Protects all religious liberty and conscience protections available under the Constitution or Federal law, including but not limited to the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, and forbids this bill from being used to diminish or repeal any such protection.

- Confirms that non-profit religious organizations will not be required to provide any services, facilities, or goods for the solemnization or celebration of a marriage.

- Guarantees that this bill may not be used to deny or alter any benefit, right, or status of an otherwise eligible person or entity – including tax-exempt status, tax treatment, grants, contracts, agreements, guarantees, educational funding, loans, scholarships, licenses, certifications, accreditations, claims, or defenses – provided that the benefit, right, or status does not arise from a marriage. For instance, a church, university, or other nonprofit’s eligibility for tax-exempt status is unrelated to marriage, so its status would not be affected by this legislation.

If someone got divorced because their husband and wife committed adultery then they are free to marry. And there is repentance from a sinful way of life.

I don't either and I don't understand why Congress thinks their bills are superior to the Constitution. 1A rules this issue on religious freedom. And if the courts don't respect 1A, then we move down the list.

I also don't understand why anyone thinks this will protect religious freedom with the amount of activism we are seeing. It is plainly obvious the LGBTQ movement seeks to destroy anyone who merely disagrees with them.

This is dumb and needless legislation.
