Question. In order for any religious organization to maintain tax exempt status are they legally required to refrain from endorsing political candidates? I thought this rule was in place so that religious organizations would not try to influence the political process. Do they have other similar restrictions that would keep them from influencing politics? If they're working within the existing laws concerning tax exempt status I suppose they have just as much right as anyone else to participate in the political process. As long as they don't cross the line.
