text: Well churches are not the only organizations that are 501(3)c’s. If we eliminate the Johnson Amendment, your donation to your kid’s Little League team could also be used for partisan political purposes. It gets even shadier than that, remember when the Trump Foundation cut a check to an electioneering organization working to re-elect Pam Bondi after she stopped investigating Trump University? Were the Johnson Amendment to be repealed, rich people could set up “charities” that allow them to donate money and then write it off on their taxes, making donations to political campaigns tax deductible for them. It has nothing to do with religion.
