That’s the brilliant thing about the making politics about cultural issues. Churches can campaign for culture shit all day long. They just can’t say “vote for _____.”

I didn't know that was a thing that could happen

I've got to do some research because my grandparents church has been doing this since Bush Sr.

I mean, it’s supposed to work that way but that's extremely rare.

They won't, because the politicians they elect will defend their base of support.

This isn't like when Obama/Pelosi went after ACORN in 2009. Or SCOTUS struck down the right of unions to fund raise for candidates under the Janis decision. Or FOX News spent months freaking out over the Ground Zero Mosque. Or Midwestern governors tried to cancel Sunday early voting in order to undermine "Souls to the Polls" black Evangelical turnout. These are people with real money and influence who aren't to be fucked with.

Conservatives will tap that reserve whole heartedly. Liberals will just shrug and say they can't be taxed because of The Norms.

I hate Illinois nazis

Effectively 1/3 of the US is Nones (and growing). I don't have the breakdown in front of me, but a sizeable number are "switchers," people who left their childhood religion.

I'm personally now an ex-fundigelical antitheist, so I would relish the opportunity to report them!

Also keep in mind that there's often a reward for turning in tax fraud. Not that should motivate you.
