If It Looks Like a Corporation, It Should Pay Like One: Actulint Church Calls on Mega-Churches to Go For-Profit

Actulint Church Challenges Churches with 500+ Members to End the Tax-Exempt Double Standard.
Atlanta, GA - December 23, 2025 - The Actulint Church is issuing a public challenge to churches with more than 500 active members: either scale down or acknowledge reality and operate as for-profit institutions.

In a statement released today, Actulint argued that many large churches now function indistinguishably from commercial enterprises, employing full-time staff, producing monetized media, selling merchandise, owning extensive real estate, and exerting political and cultural influence, while continuing to benefit from tax-exempt status intended for charitable, non-commercial organizations.

"At a certain scale, a church stops being a congregation and starts being a corporation," an Actulint spokesperson said. "And corporations should not be tax-free simply because they invoke religion."

The Actulint Church, which launched earlier this year as a for-profit philosophical church, chose, from its inception, to reject nonprofit status. Its leadership argues that transparency, accountability, and sustainability demand the same standards applied to other large-scale institutions.

"Modern mega-churches want moral authority, political influence, and commercial reach-without the responsibilities that come with them," the statement continued. "That is not faith. That is regulatory arbitrage."

Actulint emphasized that the call is not aimed at small congregations or community churches, but at large, professionally managed organizations that resemble media companies, brands, or lifestyle enterprises more than traditional religious assemblies.

The church proposed a clear threshold: once a religious institution exceeds 500 members and operates paid staff, monetized media, and recurring revenue streams, it should transition to for-profit status-or voluntarily forgo political and commercial activity.

"Either be a charity or be a business," Actulint stated. "But stop pretending you can be both."

The announcement is expected to ignite debate across religious, political, and legal circles, particularly as scrutiny grows around tax exemptions, transparency, and the role of large churches in public life.

Actulint does not promise salvation. It offers structure and accountability.
