Churches still have it pretty easy, they are excepted from having to file for tax exempt status, don't have to file an annual information return. They are not required to obtain 501(c)(3) status.
Legitimate churches, that is. The IRS is free to question your status as a church but is unlikely to if, for instance, you are part of a recognized national church organization, or otherwise function as a regular church.
