No. In most sates in the United State religious organizations are exempt from real and personal property taxes. Each state has their own tax laws that describe which properties are tax exempt. Such laws are uniformly applied, that is all religious organizations that qualify for exemption (not just the Catholic Church in this example) are therefore exempt.

What is the religion called the truth?
I'm not sure if a particular religion is actually called "The Truth". However, I've been one of Jehovah's Witnesses for all of my life ( 40 years). I actually made the decision to become one of Jehovah's Witnesses at the age of 13. Most Witnesses love talking about the Bible no matter where they are with their friends. Often, someone will ask you: "How long have you been in "the truth"? Or, "how did you come in the truth?" If one has been a Witness for a long time, this expression is almost always used even on a global scale. The majority of Witnesses that choose to leave this way of life, usually still refer to it as "the truth". Many never choose to go to other religions. Some will live a life completely contrary to what a Witness should live but later come back because they know it is "the truth". Jehovah's Witnesses feel they have found "the truth". This is not because they feel they are perfect. It is not because they "close there eyes" to the mistakes or misunderstandings we have had over the years. Rather, it is because Jehovah's Witnesses are sincere Bible students. They are always striving to make adjustments. As an organization, they are not too proud to admit when they have been wrong. True, they are criticized when they make changes. People call them the "false prophet". But we simply don't care about about these accusations. We feel any adjustment is good if it helps us get closer to the truth of the Bible. To sum it up, the difference between other religions and what Witnesses call "the truth" is the motive. "The meek shall inherit the earth". Meek means "teachable". It is closely related to humility. As a group, by allowing the Bible to guide them and by making any changes necessary ( even doctrinally) so as to please the Author of the Bible, they feel they have found "the truth".
How much tithes should you pay?
Many traditions, dating back to the Holy Roman Empire or earlier, hold that you should give ten percent of your gross earnings (before taxes) to the church or charity of your choice. Many faiths in the current era insist that you should give everything you can spare, while others insist that you should follow your conscience and tithe only what makes you feel comfortable. A recent school of thought suggests that you can donate ten percent your time (instead of money) as your contribution to your community.
