I'm not sure what you mean by "tax credit". Religious congregations do not receive payments of any kind from the government. They do not pay taxes on their income (donations/tithes), so each donor's money goes farther, and donors, if they itemize on their tax returns (pretty rare with how generous the standard deduction has become) have tax incentive to give generously. But without donations, there won't be any building or full time officiant.

So you see exactly what I mean. They get to not pay taxes. That's money in their pockets instead of the government. Ergo, that's a grant.
