  It's not bait, it's a serious issue. Religious organizations are free-riding in society and not paying their fair share. This is criminal and should be prosecuted. Render unto Caesar and all that.

  Aye, Paul felt this. But Jesus taught by their fruits shall ye know them. AFAICT, all Christians know the Jesus trumps Paul. Under such a calculus, the variance of Christians living their standards en masse is sufficient evidence of mission failure, not simply internal inconsistency. As an example, consider how many religious organizations not only ban LGBT (despite teaching god made them as they are) but outright actively work to disenfranchise them (tolerance failure). I believe it is reasonable that organizations should not be tolerated when they are corrupt subcommunities cancerously siphoning resources from the body of a community. Whether that organization is commercial, civic, or religious shouldn't affect the determination.
