"I appreciate that some of the contributions go to helping others, and that there is a case for providing a tax break for these (like any other charity), but not for running churches and paying pastors, priests, fathers etc." -------------------------------------------------
running churches and paying pastors, priests, fathers?
Why you would lie to prove your integrity??No tax breaks for running churches and paying pastors, priests, fathers .
Atheists foundations desperately trying here to get this status from late 90s last century.In USA they get tax breaks. Hope this helps
