I don’t understand. Congress subpoenaed information from the IRS, the IRS refused to supply that information and now Congress is moving to punish those responsible. There is no argument on that point. What would the IRS do to someone who lied to them and withheld the evidence the IRS had subpoenaed? Try using the IRS’s reasoning when you are audited. They broke the law & should be punished, simple as that. Anything else is becoming a banana republic.
In all this criticism of religion, don’t forget that the governments that have been based on atheism have been the one’s that killed more of their own citizens in the 20th century that any war. Look at Mao and communist china, 75 million killed. What you are blaming on religion is endemic to the human animal.
