GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT GIVE MONEY TO RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS

My response to this was, "No they should not you dumbass." You might think that's too harsh, but so often he shows how stupid he is. While I don't agree with separation of church and State, I do believe the First Amendment means that the Government should keep their hands off the church, even when it comes to giving the church money.
We all know that when the Government gives money there are always strings attached. This shows with 501c3 churches. Churches with this exemption have limitations. You can read about it here... www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/charitable-organizations/exemption-requirements-section-501c3-organizations
Here's the first paragraph,
To be tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, an organization must be organized and operated exclusively for exempt purposes set forth in section 501(c)(3), and none of its earnings may inure to any private shareholder or individual. In addition, it may not be an action organization, i.e., it may not attempt to influence legislation as a substantial part of its activities and it may not participate in any campaign activity for or against political candidates.
The question I have, what strings will be attached to this money that Trump wants to give churches?
When I am President I will adhere to the Constitution. 501c3 should not include churches or other religious organizations, and I will ask Congress to clarify this as long as this tax code is still in existence.
LET US MAKE THE CHURCHES FREE AGAIN
