I started reading this article from Americans United for Separation of Church and State and wondered if they weren't contradicting their mission by criticizing the recommendation coming out of Senator Grassley's office to end the federal ban on politicking by non-profit groups, which would include churches.
I mean, if they want the separation of church and state, how can they be for a federal restriction on church activity?
The alternative, though, is is slightly troubling. Churches, already tax-exempt, being given full reign to tread the political field and put their "profits" behind certain political movements and candidates.
But how can you have a true separation of church and state if the state has to oversee how the church conducts its business? Am I missing something here?
