Tax exemption should be a non-issue. Churches shouldn't be for-profit businesses, they should be associations with members contributing to a common, partly charitable goal (although honestly it's also just a club). That's what they conceptually are, and that's how they should work.
They should be treated as charitable organisations at best, and then also held to those standards. Any church run as a business should not be considered a church at all.
(Disclaimer: I'm a member of a Dutch church, and I have no idea what our tax situation is.)
