Yes they are.  Some churches however, are under investigation as of late (on both the left and right) for political activism in the church.  If churches want to endorce a canidate or they want to enter the political arena they have to form a special PAC (political action committee)  I beleive the money they use for the PAC has to be collected seperatly from church funds.

Same goes for other "non-profit" organiziations.  I read a really good article about the NAACP being in alot of trouble this year for campaigning on Kerry's behalf.  I seriously hope this racist organization get's there tax except status revoked.
