LGBTI stands for Lesbian Gay Bisexual(like me) Transgender Intersex. I should probs add a q for questioning, and for the record, I say yes, these religious bodies should be taxed for spreading hate. I have the right as a tax paying citizen to say whether my tax dollars go to religious bodies that oppose my rights.

This would of course include opposing LGBTI policies, but only if they do it in a political way, for example if the members of a church all decide they are opposed to it, that's just fine, but if the church is actively pursuing it's members to oppose it and vote accordingly, that's not ok.

There is a fine line between teaching a religious message and teaching a political one. If the church is teaching that we should all love and care for each other that is a lot different from the church saying go protest some atrocity.

The rational is that a tax exempt organization acting to spread political opinion/dissent is no longer acting as a religion, they are acting as a theocratic political organization.
At worst, this could undermine a lot of the freedoms we have in the long run by failing to separate church and state.
On the other hand, if religions are free to do this, then why prevents me from starting a "religion" that has no other purpose except to spread political messages?

Im not sure the government could or should prevent you from doing that. I dont think every donation or every interaction people have with their money needs to be taxed by government. They already tax our income, sales, property. Do they really need to tax the community people decide to donate too?

I would have to look it up, but i have heard arguments based on the bible that justify abortion.

They could also come to different conclusions because they have not read the entire book and only look for tidbits that fit there narrative. Also people can just draw incorrect conclusions. For example a difference in median income often leads people to an incorrect conlusion that women must be paid less than men for the same work.

That said, generally non-profit organisations have various tax exemptions, because their members financially do not directly materially benefit from their work. And in that case, the direction of their work should not affect their taxation benefits. If a church advocates against the right of gays to have sex, or if an organisation building homeless shelters refuses to let black people in to their shelters, then they should be called out in public - but, ultimately, it is their business what they do, and nobody is forced to associate with them.
Punishing people materially for their beliefs is a very Orwellian thing and has no place in the modern society.
