Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    All religions should be heavily taxed. NO EXCEPTIONS!!

      This stance is very popular where I’m from and I agree

      I’d give loopholes for good works and define them specifically

      If you really do mean no exceptions then that is genuinely an unpopular view.

      Absolutely, 100% agreed. I know most other church-goers would disagree, though. Religious organizations should be treated no differently from any other organization.

      My unpopular opinion is that people who keep throwing this stupid idea around have no clue what they’re talking about.

      Religions / churches are non-profits. Their only revenue is post-tax donations. The people who work at the non-profit churches still pay income tax. The moment you start taxing a church, you allow them to function as a corporation. Not taxing churches is a fundamentally great thing.

        Any donations churches make as an entity to political organizations should either

        A: be taxed at 50–70% before reaching the candidates, with the money being rolled into local community services

        Or

        B: lose their non-profit status and be required to register as a political entity
