Not many of them. Start taxing churches and the small ones will go broke. Pretty soon all we'd have left was mega-churches, which would suck IMO.

Why?
Because churches rely almost entirely on offerings given by attenders of the church. Some small churches where I live (Nebraska) have fewer than 20-30 attenders on any given Sunday. Not all attenders will necessarily be willing or able to give money. Eventually, if taxed by the government, these churches will not be able to pay their staff (pastor(s)/priest(s), custodians, musicians, etc.) and will (1) have to disband, or (2) have to rely on volunteers to clean the church, plan and play music on Sunday, and other things. Also, being a pastor or priest is generally a full-time job, and many pastors (but hopefully not preists ) have families to take care of. If a church is no longer able to pay their pastors, the pastor will have to try to get a job somewhere else, thus forcing the church to disband. Not to mention that many pastors of small churches make barely enough to support their families anyway.

Because mom and pop grocery stores are taxed for the same amount as huge chains?

Ya know, people these days always seem to confuse morality and law. This idea comes from a law, specifically one from an ancient tribe well over 2000 years ago. It was a practical law, to help keep women who were raped before marriage from simply ending up dead (since no man would have married a woman who'd had sex before marriage).
It was never a matter of morality until people started the trend of reading little bits of the Bible out of context, and going with it. Would you consider today's laws moral rules? If not, then why do you for horribly outdated and irrelevant laws? And if yes, then what do you do if the two sets of laws contradict?
So then I hear "ah, but these rules were stated by God. That is why they are moral". And well yes, they were. However, if you understand the reason behind the laws creation, then your argument no longer stands. God created us as rational beings capable of our own logic. If the reason behind a law is no longer relevant, then neither is the law. That is how laws work, they have reasons behind them, often moral. Once that reason is gone, then so is any moral aspect of the law, and it is simply an empty law.
