But it's fine to give $1.6billion to the Catholic Church, much of which to pay off the clergy bankruped by sexual abuse claims? Bullshit. In other words, only religion gets money for nothing, but atheist groups don't. Hypocrisy at its finest.

1.6 billion? Should probably give sources when making grand claims. I'm not denying it, I just need more information than an angsty comment

1.4billion -3.5billion reported on AP, but let's be honest, the church gets an endless stream of cash from Western governments.

Literally the first sentence refers to it as a tax exemption, so, are you implying 1.6 billion dollars should be printed and wired over to atheists just because the vatican got a tax break? By that logic we should funnel trillions to nuclear plants because solar got a tax exemption. Its both illogical and dishonest how you tried to frame the issue. K bye.

No, you literal baffoon. I imply that hypocrisy exists. I declared my disapproval of the contents of the article and offered a single example of many that exist. Public money should be handed to either, nor any tax breaks given. I also don't believe any religion or atheist groups should be tax exempt in the first place. Perhaps you should try not to put words in my mouth, and instead go fuck yourself.
