We live in a time where small community organizations are on the decline. These organizations exist in the form of clubs, athletic leagues, religious organizations such as churches, and others. Churches provide an emotional support network to many people, perform acts of charity, and generally do much more good than harm. If you intend to use the Westboro Baptist Church as an example of the harm done by churches please be aware that you risk throwing the baby out with the bathwater. If you castigate churches for being close-minded, please consider reading up on the Unitarians for a decent depiction of how varied the moral philosophies of churches can be. If you want to make accelerate the trend of declining community involvement, tax churches. I don't think it is wise.
