The IRS discovered a disturbing amount of intervention by religious groups in national politics in 2004. It determined nearly five dozen churches and charities violated laws against political activities, and there are now 40 active investigations into the politicking of various churches.

So there are at least 15,000 churches and tax exempt organizations out there, and 100 of them violated laws against political activies or are under investigation for doing so.

100 out of 15,000. That's 0.666% Boy, that sounds like a widespread problem. [/sarcasm]
