Actually, Puc, I attend a UU church and have off-and-on for many years. (In fact, in several of Chipotle's outfits on FurryMUCK, there's a Unitarian Universalist chalice, which a few people have commented on over the years.) This is largely why this ended up in my personal journal rather than my 'political' one.
There may well be political components to this, of course -- it's hard not to notice the timing of this, since the UU church has been rather vocal about supporting gay marriage -- but the Star-Telegram article noted that the comptroller's office has been more active than usual in denying tax-exempt status to churches in the last few years, and that most of the churches denied are "non-traditional" ones. This leads me to suspect that it's less political than an act of essentially misguided moralism.
