Tax Exempt 501c for all of us

[BikerDude]

It doesn't look like 501c tax exempt status is that tough to get.
For instance it's mentioned in this video that a group called "The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence" have 501c status.
It's here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRSxV7guTWI (BTW the Bill Donahue guy is an unbelievable asshole but that's another matter and I'm trying not to stir up the Catholics so much because they whine so loudly all the.........well whatever)

The "Nuns" make Dudeism look like Lutheranism. They started as a bunch of gays dressing like Nuns.

The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence? is a leading-edge Order of queer nuns. Since our first appearance in San Francisco on Easter Sunday, 1979, the Sisters have devoted ourselves to community service, ministry and outreach to those on the edges, and to promoting human rights, respect for diversity and spiritual enlightenment. We believe all people have a right to express their unique joy and beauty and we use humor and irreverent wit to expose the forces of bigotry, complacency and guilt that chain the human spirit.

They pay no taxes!
There has got to be a loophole for us Dudeists.
I mean if an "Order of Queer Nuns" get a religious exemption then we fine upstanding Dudeists should be a shoe in. I should own my own Jet by now with the taxes I pay!

I haven't watched the video because I don't have an hour to spend right now, and I have no idea how the tax laws work with regards to issues like this.  But based on the parts of your post that I've quoted, it seems to me that the corporation has a tax exempt status, not the "Sisters" themselves.  And if the "Sisters" do have a tax exempt status that it would be because of their association with the corporation.  If I'm right, the corporation/organization/whateveritis of Dudeism would have to file and receive tax exempt status before we individual Dudeists could do the same.  Tax laws are, uhhh, you know, a lotta ins, a lotta outs, a lotta what-have-yous.  This could be a lot more, uhhh, complex.  I mean, it's not just...it might not be just such a simple...uhhh, you know?

Maybe as to the organization, itself. Not as to the individual adherents. Keep in mind that catholic lobbyists currently outnumber dudeist lobbyists by an infinite multiplier. Those papists are feeding the monkeys on motley political backs. Also, the IRS is now officially more weaponized than the uranium spinning in iranian centrifuges. Those bureaucratic whores will trouser-dive after a nickle if they suspect you didn't contribute to their boss's election campaign.

Is it right? Hell no. Look at the vatican bank and tell me the whole organization isn't just as corrupt now as when it was selling indulgences to the highest bidder. Pederasts, indeed.
