First there was no income tax until the early 1900s. Then I think LBJ was running for Senator or something in 1954 and he introduced this concept that churches can't talk about politics and it passed into law. For more accurate accounting look it up on wikipedia. His opponent was backed by churches.

Of course i wouldn't want Politics classified as a relifion though ,Why give the Politicians another reason to not pay taxes.LOL
There seems to be a similarity. (Conventional) religions argue against each other they are the only true path to God .And so do politicians.
