| Message | The AAS opposes for two reasons. 1) We do not agree with a 'special exemption' from ALL taxation... even for religions. 2) We do not agree with this 'recognised religions' idea. To the (currently, largely Atheistic) AAS, all religions are equal (And, of course, equally false). We do not agree that you can just 'choose' some religions to be more 'deserving' of tax exemption... or any other treatement. |
