Do people donate to churches because the donation is tax exempt?
This question inspires this one.
If churches were to lose their tax exemption status, then tithing to the church would no longer be a charitable deduction for individuals. Would this negatively affect the bottom line for churches? Would you continue to financially to their church if you were no longer able to write it off on your taxes? Would you contribute at the same level? Would it affect your involvement with a church?
