Any church that engages in for-profit activities is already taxed. The only "special" treatment churches get is they're assumed by default to be non-profits while other non-profits have to apply for the status.

They don’t to feed the hungry, clothe the poor or do anything beyond converting other people to their religion in order to pay 0 taxes. That’s where I have an issue with it.
