The priests in America depends on the collective money one may get from the members of the church so only the members of a church PAY for their church's reinvoations. There are *too many religions* in US so it would be impossible for the goverment to split the religion tax (if we ever have one) and distribute it equally to each religion in USA.

A joke comes to my mind:
One day, a shoemaker got a paper saying that he owes the church money.
He came to the priest and asked:
"Why did you bill me the tax? I didn't go to the church at all!"
The priest replied: "WHy didn't you? The door is always open."
The shoemaker went home and decided to make a pair of shoes
for the priest and sent the invoice to the priest.
The priest came next day, "Why did you bill me for the shoes? I didn't order
anything!" The shoemaker replied:
"Why didn't you? My shop's door is always open."
