I'm serious about the remove tax-exempt line. If you're truly not making a profit then there are no taxes to pay and if you are making a profit and just not benefiting from it then pay taxes anyway.
But if you look at the history of churches losing their tax-exempt status for political activity (and interestingly, while the statute bars any political activity, limited lobbying is still allowed) you'll find that more "conservative" churches have been hit than "liberal." But it is all silly and capricious since non-profits engage in political activities all the time, they just play semantic games to avoid explicit conflict with the statute while still effectively doing what the statute tries to prevent ("here's our voting guide; we're not telling you who to vote for, just highlighting the candidate positions on the issues most important to our members") and this is true of both religious and secular non-profits.
