In order to maintain their tax-exempt status, churches and "religious organizations" must maintain 501c3 status. They must adhere to the following rules:
The organization must be organized and operated exclusively for religious or other charitable purposes
The net earning must not benefit any private individual or shareholder exclusively
No substantial part of the organization’s activity may be the attempt to influence legislation
The organization cannot intervene in political campaigns
The organization’s purpose and actions cannot be illegal or violate fundamental public policy
How the hell do people like Joel Osteen and Creflo Dollar get away with it?
