I’d say advocating for one political party from the pulpit is a good reason to take away a church’s tax exempt status.

It’s a death cult. And $5 says that this guy secretly got vaccinated, and is only gambling with his congregants’ lives.
“Killing off members of your congregation to own the libs” seems to be entirely on-brand for these folks.

Just like the dead don’t vote, they don’t ‘tithe,’ either.

Just like Jesus would have wanted, right?
Never thought I’d get so much use out of this, but here we go:

Oh yes, and not only in the US. It used to be epidemics followed population density, sea ports and market centres. Stands to reason, right? Now they follow anti-vax religions.
This also makes sense, not all anti-vaxxers are religious but it are the very religious anti-vaxxers living in closed bubbles with mostly other unvaccinated pox spreaders that create outbreaks.
This was very visible in the last measles epidemic here in NL where it avoided classic targets like Rotterdam or Amsterdam completely but hit hard in rural and isolated Zeeland with all its religious bubbles.
This is a big difference between modern epidemics and classic epidemics.

Matthew 24:11
And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray.
2 Timothy 4:3
For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,
Romans 16:18
For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.
2 Corinthians 11:13-15
13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.

Attempting to logically analyze religion is a textbook example of futility. They are mutually exclusive.

Which is why there are two solutions within Christianity. The “God’s will is unknowable” answer, which leaves the possibility of changing what is written in the bible open, and the “The Bible is always right” answer.
What we have here is the logical conclusion of “The Bible is always right”. Reality does not line up with Biblical dogma, so reality must be wrong, it’s a trick by the Devil. The alternative is unthinkable to believers.

In the US there are some churches that have been against vaccines, but in the current situation it’s overwhelmingly, specifically, the far-right social clubs that have traditionally called themselves evangelical “churches,” that threw their enthusiastic support behind Donald Trump. They may not previously have had any sort of position on vaccines, but are now firmly against them - in this specific situation - for purely politically partisan reasons.
