I will google this topic just to get educated on it. |
IMO, it is because of the charitable works they do. They provide a series of services that are invaluable to society. Since virtually every religion gets the status, and so many other charitable service also get it, it seems appropriate to me. Basically, there need either be this granted to churches, or nobody.
