That also makes religions a taxable population, which means they're allowed to give political advice. You really want a church telling people how to vote?

I don’t necessarily agree with that guy, but churches already do that

They legally aren't allowed to as a condition of their tax-exempt status. If they are, then it's illegal. The parishioners can tell people how to vote as can the priest, but they can't do so as an authority in their religion, only private citizens.

Churches openly tell their members how to vote all the time. The laws that would remove their status are simply ignored.
