Rationale

Our current policy unfairly burdens religious charities by denying tax exemptions, limiting their ability to serve the public. This bill ensures fair treatment while maintaining neutrality.

1	Religious Observation Policy	Permit religion with no state support (neutral tax treatment; no grants)		Tax-exempt status for registered religious charities
