Original Note:
Actual estimates for religious tax exemptions are around $2.4B - far less than the picture's $71B Additionally, federal tax collection is approx $3.8T and state and local taxes are approx $1.8T - even if $71B was collected it would be less than 2% of total budget. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/sep/28/viral-image/taxing-churches-would-not-add-enough-revenue-lower/
