Churches don't pay taxes. They collect money from attendee's to pay for the real estate they occupy.

Any other gathering / community has to deal with these real world problems before they can attract people.

In my college years, there were clubs or fraternities, and they could use classrooms or student unions as low cost resources to gather in person and foster community. I think that's a barrier as an adult.



Thoughtful. I didn’t think deeply enough how the tax implications mattered (especially given how many church buildings sit empty for days at a time)
