I'm not sure if I quite understand your point. I suppose profiting off of religion could be potentially considered a form of support, I believe that if anything, a tax exemption is a more meaningful form thereof.
Granted, that does not change the fact of the matter, no such law could be instituted today because institutions/entities/people profiting from it are too big to fail. Remember what Scientology did to the IRS?
