American Family Association wants to tax Atheists

Apparently it's not enough that, as nonprofits, wealthy churches don't have to pay property and other taxes. Now the American Family Association's best-known broadcaster wants to tax everyone who doesn't attend church. The AFA owns 165 radio stations, including the following stations in Nebraska and Iowa:

Nebraska:
Hubbard: 91.3 FM, KAYA
Valentine: 89.3 FM, KKNL

Iowa:
Burlington: 89.8, KAYP
(Clicking on the above link reveals that AFA operated was granted a license to operate KAYP as a satellite of  its Hubbard, NE station, 300 miles away, subject to several stipulations enumerated in the link, including the following:
The AFA has pledged to: (1) add to its Community Advisory Board at least one resident of Burlington, who will be asked to provide recommendations on community needs and programming directly to AFA; (2) conduct, on at least an annual basis, interviews with Burlington residents and community leaders to assess community needs and programming; (3) provide periodic local programming for Burlington, including coverage of significant local news or cultural events; (4) provide for the broadcast of local public service announcements; and (5) maintain a toll-free telephone number between Burlington, Iowa and the KAYA (FM) main studio...
If you live in Burlington, and notice that the American Family Association isn't keeping its FCC promises, why not let the FCC know?)

Mason City: 88.5, KBDC
Dubuque: 88.5, KIAD
Waverly: 88.9, KWVI
