I'm fine with these churches, and it's absolutely possible to write a law that would exempt these institutions from taxes while taxing megachurches.

Arguably it already exists in the form of 501(c)(3).  Remove the religious exemption here and churches that are actually doing good for society could fall under the charitable exemption.

This is *exactly* the argument I would make. The whole "tax all churches" argument is silly to me and smells more of personal vendetta rather than sound tax law.

However, if a church is essentially disguising massive revenue-making operations under the guise of "church operations" (and yes, it happens), then I certainly would have no problem with it being up for scrutiny.  Not because "I hate religion, durrrrr!", but because it violates the spirit of the tax law currently in place.  Much like a charity would when it does the same thing.
