As usual, AS has totally blown this out of proportion. It is NOT a constitutional issue of separation of church and state. However, there is a obscure IRS regulation that prohibits a church from participating in political activities if it is to maintain its 501(c)(3) status. Hardly a constitutional issue and a typical exageration by AS.

Churches, like other organizations that are exempt from federal income tax under §501(c)(3), may not "participate in, or intervene in (including the publishing or distributing of statements), any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office."
