>So why does a hate group get tax exemption?
Because a religion can be a hate group. The granter of tax exemption
is the U.S. Federal Government, and it's the same U.S. Federal
Government that says any organization, without any qualification, can
itself, without any qualifier, determine itself to be religious. A
hate group, a commercial enterprise, a scam, an intelligence network,
a totalitarian cult, a criminal conspiracy against people's rights, or
a threat to democracy and to reason, as Scientology proves for all
these categories, can determine to be religious, and with "enough"
people (even headless ones) can constitute a religion.
The Scientology hate group got tax exemption because a strategic
decision was made within the U.S. Federal Government to "create" the
above policy.
Up to a certain date, organizations that were hate groups, commercial
enterprises, scams, intelligence networks, totalitarian cults,
criminal conspiracies, or threats to democracy and to reason were not
granted automatic religion status and automatic tax exemption, but
there was a public examination, significantly in the nation's courts,
but by various federal departments, to determine the organization's
"religiousness" apart from its nature and activities as a hate group,
commercial enterprise, scam, intelligence network, totalitarian cult,
criminal conspiracy or threat.
The U.S. Federal Government then created the International Religious
Freedom Act of 1998, now 22 USC § 6401, et seq., to give its strategic
decision some additional effect and additional channels to create
effects.

It is clear that this strategic decision and the creation of the IRFA
were motivated by, among other factors, Scientology's nature and
activities, and it is clear that the U.S. Federal Government has acted
to protect its decision and protect the nasty, sociopathic cult the
decision favors.
