I think there is some kind of church exception, too, but it involves poverty vows or something and I'm pretty sure they investigate and make sure you really are under a vow of poverty that is religious before they let you off the hook.

It seems weird that this was changed in 1983. You would think taking away the opt out option from local governments would be something that Reagan would have vetoed. Maybe it was buried in some big legislative "package". Reason number 573 we need a federal line item veto.
