ATLANTA, GA - January 5, 2026 - The Actulint Church today issued a direct challenge to modern religious institutions: choose what you are, charity or corporation, and operate accordingly.
In a public statement, Actulint argued that many contemporary churches now function indistinguishably from commercial enterprises while continuing to claim tax-exempt status intended for non-commercial charities. Large congregations routinely employ paid executive staff, monetize media platforms, sell merchandise, own significant real estate, and engage in political and cultural advocacy, yet remain shielded from the financial and regulatory standards applied to comparable organizations.
“This isn’t a question of faith,” an Actulint spokesperson said. “It’s a question of structure. When a church operates like a corporation, it should be accountable like one.”
Actulint, which launched as a for-profit philosophical church, chose from its inception to reject non-profit status. Its leadership says the decision was driven by transparency and sustainability, not provocation.
“We weren’t interested in moral authority without accountability,” the spokesperson added. “If we claim value, we should survive on value. If we generate revenue, we should pay taxes.”
Calling Out the Double Standard
Actulint’s position highlights what it describes as a growing contradiction: churches that invoke charity to avoid taxation while simultaneously operating complex revenue models and exerting political influence.
“Charities serve the public without commercial intent,” the statement reads. “Corporations pursue growth, branding, and monetization. Many modern churches are doing the latter while claiming the protections of the former.”
Actulint emphasized that its critique is not aimed at small community congregations or traditional houses of worship, but at large, professionally managed religious organizations that resemble media companies and lifestyle brands more than volunteer-driven charities.
A Different Model
As a for-profit entity, Actulint operates without tithes, guilt-based fundraising, or moral pressure. Support is voluntary. No donations confer status, access, or authority.
“If our work provides clarity and structure, people will support it,” the spokesperson said. “If it doesn’t, it shouldn’t exist.”
