Make religious organisations pay taxes

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Religious organisations have massive real estate holdings and collection very large amounts in donations. The fact there are so many religions and they all claim to be the only true one, must mean the vast majority of this tax relief is misplaced, as at best only one is correct.

Why it was rejected
