@Dena So do many companies. Or, to be less cynical, charities.
A religious institution may act indeed act as a charity, but in that case it should be treated exactly the same way as any other charity - and they aren't. They are allowed to get away with doing things that no charity ever would be.
If you can give me something that religions do, that charities could not, and that the state should be funding, I will concede the point. Otherwise, why should the two be treated differently?
