Apples to oranges.
The first was the church making a statement and the second were random church goers at a protest.

You make a cogent policy argument that has no relevance to your assertion regarding Constitutionality.
Taxed or not, churches have prima facia “free speech” argument.

It’s directly connected. I’ll let you mentally masturbate over this issue that has been settled law for centuries.

Which church? Looks like individuals to me.

The worst thing for Christianity is Christians - there are schools and colleges that promote religion as careers. Choose your church carefully. There’s probably a thousand of Dino Rizzos across the United States.

You’re right. It hasn’t been settled law for centuries. Keep tilting, Don Quixote.

You consistently illuminate why you are on the wrong side of many arguments.
Having a position on a moral issue (abortion) is very different than taking a position for or against a specific politician or political party.
This concept didn't even cross your mind, so you came to a very faulty conclusion (as per the norm for you). FYI, this is very basic logic.

I will hang up and listen.

I would just remove the deduction for the taxpayer, keep the church exempt, and let the church be politically active.

My guess is, they want a new church, and are hoping to invite someone to burn down their current one and collect the insurance.

Just out of curiosity, if not by accepting Jesus into your heart, how else does one get saved?

Because no matter what they claim to believe
The bottom line is it’s all about the money.
Take away the tax exempt status and most of holy rolly churches wouldn’t exist

Show just one scripture that tells one to ask Jesus in to their heart, much less one that tells the sinner to ask Jesus in to their heart to be saved.
I'll save you the trouble. There isn't one. It is a false doctrine.
Edit: I see a believer in false doctrine or satan downvoted me.

Sure many "churches" abuse the tax exempt status.
The problem with taxing a church is that the ability to tax is the ability to destroy.

I would argue that many many people do not declare their church donations against their taxes.
I personally always donate in cash for the very reason that it cant be deducted.
My charitable giving and especially my duty to provide funds to operate church business and help fellow Christians in need is between myself and God, not myself and the government.

John 1:9-13
9 The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. 11 He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. 12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
Revelation 3:20
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.
I mean, that's certainly not ALL there is to it. One must also repent and live by faith. And by "asking Jesus into your heart", you are really asking Him to take control of your life and be the Lord of your life.
It's not just "Welp, I asked Jesus into my heart. Now I'm covered."
