Why the hate for wisdom?

The IRS would go after the megachurch because there is much more money in it for them to do so. A big church can afford to pay a much larger fine than some little new age target, and to the IRS, it's all about the revenue from the fines. You disagree and that's ok.

I agree with you Jade about politics and this forum. In fact I posted about the futility of discussing same in another thread.

For the IRS, the reward isn't worth the cost. They also would have to pay lawyers to fight against the large mega church. In the end they could lose money, which is what the other lawyers will be doing - dragging the case on in court as long as possible to cost the other side money. Anyway, it's just a speculative point. We can disagree.

To answer Diana, nonprofits can talk about political IDEAS, or even ideas that are subversive, they just cannot put forth endorsements or campaign for a specific candidate. The potential is that a candidate would use a nonprofit to filter campaign donations through so they do not have to be taxed. It's just one failsafe to prevent extreme corruption.

Besides, they have COINTELPRO to keep an eye on everything else us weird little niche groups get into.
