They are afraid that if they offend Bu$h and his band of terrorists, that they will cut off the flow of government funds to churches, and send the IRS after them.

Jesus threw the moneychangers out of the temple.

And rest assured, if Jesus returns to this plane of existence, He will throw most of the Reverends, Priests, Pastors, and Ministers, out of the pseudo-churches and into the street gutters where they belong.
