Unfortunately, tax law does not permit you to only pay taxes for those causes you like. There are many who would choose to defund the military, the education department, veterans, the renewal of the NASCAR boost, the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Science Foundation, welfare, the EPA, Congressional pay, &c. if they could.
In an audit, such a claim (I don't like religious exemptions) will not gain you much traction. It will gain you a fine and interest on what is owed.

Hello fellow atheists! I have joined this site in an attempt to find other rational individuals, such as myself, and to promote a current charity drive that I am trying to get going for the Oklahoma tornado victims. I have managed to get many groups from around my area, including the Beyond Belief Foundation to back me on this endeavor.
I am located in Newnan, Ga and have my own atheist group entitled "Coweta County Atheists". I am currently being backed by Spaulding Co.…

Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film video

There is a video of the Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film. The man isn't demon possessed, there are likely no 'real' demons. He's just delusional and doesn't want to accept personal responsiblity for his own behavior for his own dysfunctional life.

Do you support 'traditional' marriage, vot now ad

There is an ad that reads ' Do you support 'traditional' marriage? Vote Now"! .
No, I don't support 'traditional' marriage because there is no such thing. I support heterosexual and same-sex couples marry each other legally , yes. 'Traditional' marriage promoters largely do not believe that heterosexual women are co-equal to their husbands. Their only purpose in 'traditional' marriage is to sexually satisfy their husbands if they can and raise children and do all…

I am going to earmark my IRS return this year and take them to Court if they do not do something about the violations, en masse, of the no-politics law applying to non-profit religious organizations ("corporations"). Now that the AFA and many such lobby groups are holding up the First Amendment and screaming about violation of their rights, I plan on holding up the same Amendment and point to outrageous violations of church-state separation. If just one of these groups were investigated, and if we made a big stink about it, perhaps we could put a stop to it.
What right does Brian Fischer of the American Family Association have to tell any of us that "God" commands us to do this, or forbids us doing that. I could dream up some seances with the Flying Spaghetti Monster and claim that He told me to worship Obama as His prophet, and as long as I kept that belief to myself and a few other delusional people and did not try to impose that bizarre belief (as are all religious faiths) on others, no problem. The problem is in organizations like this getting too chummy with pols in D.C. That is where the greatest mischief and very real harm is done. To put it country simple: simple minds in D.C. believe this crap.
