That’s quite the claim, given there’s nothing in the 1A about charity or taxation. What case law/SCOTUS ruling are you basing that off of?

As I said the establishment clause. If the government can decide what constitutes charity for a religion then the state is establishing a religion.

I know you tried to, incorrectly, invoke the establishment clause. That wasn’t my question. I asked for the case law/ruling.

Because I don’t recall anything coming up in my Con Law classes even remotely close to that, and since you seem to be so confident in the issue, I assume you have something more than just your own feelings on the matter to back it up.

So, what case law lead you to your conclusion? Please be specific.
