Ending God's Tax Exempt Status

Does anyone know of an organization trying to end this abomination?
I would very much like to get involved.
I've searched but not found one.
Also, be a good discussion.

I have no issue with charities that provide 75+% of their income to actually doing charitable works being tax exempt.
Churches are not charities, not by a long-shot.
They are clubs and clubs are not tax exempt.

I am also for taking exempt status from any charity that falls below a pre-set line (sure if they need to "get their house in order" for ONE year and send in a letter showing why and presenting their books IN ADVANCE I could see a one year ride) and removing their exempt status.

The last study I saw showed the average church use 3-5% of their income for charitable works, and THAT definition is VERY liberal.

This needs to end yesterday.
Church is a business and only a business, they need to pay for the infrastructure like everyone else.
