Tax Religion, not Charity.

Given the vast number of religious based submissions it is unclear how loudly our rational and secular voice will be heard, but it is important for all Australians that any tax breaks given benefit everyone, and are not limited to magical thinking sub sets.

Religious organisations wishing to continue providing charitable services are quite free to do so under the same rules, regulations, and scrutiny secular charities have endured for decades. Open financial books, regular audits, and demonstrating your services are beneficial to society are all required by all organisations not trying to please space ghosts. In a modern society, why are beliefs in spirits, ghosts, afterlives, or telepathic comic deities relevant to you tax status?

When have they ever been?
