People think this issue is about religion - it's not. It's about nonprofit tax law. NO nonprofit can endorse a political candidate or intervene in a political campaign without risking its tax-exempt status. The reason is to avoid having public funds, which are supposed to go toward charitable activities and which are tax-deductible for the donors, go toward helping politicians.
Anyway, these people are lame for making it a religion issue.

Though I do admit that part of the reason why the law was put into place was because churches at the time were seen as too powerful and meddling in political affairs. Still, the official explanation makes sense.
