Do churches have to collect taxes

[FrJohnVass]

Do churches with non-profit status have to collect sales taxes on items sold by the church?

Items like candles for worship and requests for worship services?

Even though I am a religious person, I think it is time to start collecting taxes from the Church. Not every Church uses the money for charity and helping other people. Unfortunately, many churches work for money and not for making people's souls cleaner. For example, I go to an apostolic church on Sundays, and I am always donating money because I know that the priest is using all that money to help poor people in our city. I have often helped them buy food and give that food to people who need it. It would be wonderful if every church were similar.
