I think if the churches wish to remain tax exempt then they need to not get involved in politics. No donation to any party, and no rallying for any politician on any level.
Technically this is already the law (in the US at least). And while Churches are generally careful about not donating, the rallying thing gets bent quite often. Arguments I've heard are generally of "free speech" and/or "churches are above the law, and we shouldn't bind God to the laws of man." Occasionally there are high-profile cases where the IRS does go after a church for boldly breaking the law, but it's rare.
