Where l live there are very few mega churches and most have trouble making ends meet. I have encountered very few religious organizations that would be considered anything besides a failure in the business world. Now, I live in an area where this is the norm, so obviously you may have a different experience, but that still evidences that they can't be blindly taxed.
No one should be blindly taxed.
However the church does make money through donations and tithes and therefore should be taxed like any one else.
Money that goes towards charity is tax deductible like in any business.
The church has no right to claim charity as an excuse for not paying taxes.

again if a business can show no profit in there account books then there should be no tax.
But one only needs to look at all the combined wealth that churches own and realise some one is making a profit.
