Or we could require that churches actually do some good with the money they collect in order to qualify for tax exempt status. There should be no religious exemption, if a church wants tax exempt status they should have to do something to deserve it like charity.

I think you are absolutely right.

It would be much simpler to just extend to them charitable expenditures, and only that.

The more charity they do, the less taxes they pay.
