(8,494 posts)not to it being racist though correct? Other religions can have that exemption that aren't racist so that nullifies the racist part as far as the vaccine goes.

(8,494 posts)Excluding people due to race is illegal in this country though and that is my point.

(8,494 posts)For just about everything it is, but not for religion. That should tell us something. Religions are above the law, pure and simple. They are outside of our form of government and if you think that is ok then you don't believe in Democracy. You believe in a form of Theocracy.

(2,971 posts)if one wishes to create a private racist organization which doesn't involve public accommodation, one can. David Duke founded the National Association for the Advancement of White People in 1980, and it was legal for him to do so.

(8,494 posts)But I can totally concede the point to you. I do have to wonder and maybe you can help me with this. Does a private racist org get not taxable status like a church? If not then my point is still valid as far as a church goes. If so, then my point is still valid. That would be racism supported by the state whether it was a church or a private org and if that doesn't make you upset then it should.

(2,971 posts)The tax exempt status of a racist church is not the state supporting racism, any more than the tax exempt status of a non-racist church is the state supporting non-racism. The government doesn't decide whether or not a church is tax exempt based upon its doctrines. which is as it should be.
Whether or not churches is general should be tax exempt is a separate issue.

(2,706 posts)the turnip rickrolled us, it had become cultural poison to belong to an excluding kind of organization. There have been flaps over the years when it has been revealed that elected officials belonged to still excluding private golf clubs.
