Idea about corporations and churches.

Since very few large corporations pay hardly any federal taxes, why not make a regulation like the ones for churches. I know it has't worked very well with churches, but still. If the corporations hire no lobbyists on their behalf, and they do not give any money (either as a corp or through their officers) to any political organization or speak about politics in any shape or form, then the IRS will not collect any taxes from them at all.

Welcome brothers and sisters to my First Unholiness Church of Weed and Cocoa Krispies. All are welcome to come in and partake thereof. Wait, what's that, you've a cross around your neck, get out of my church.

What's that, there's dozens of guys in FBI windbreakers about to storm my place of business, er I mean, worship? Stop persecuting me for exercising my belief that Cocoa Krispies go great with high Indica hybrids and that nothing kills a buzz like a Christian. Help, help, I'm being repressed.
