Many states provide an exemption for religious organizations in general from the totality of their charitable solicitation acts. A state law may exclude a corporation sole or other religious corporation, trust or organization incorporated or established for a religious purpose, any agency or organization incorporated or established for charitable, hospital, or educational purposes and engaging in effectuating one or more of such purposes, that is affiliated with, operated by, or supervised or controlled by a corporation sole or other religious corporation, trust or organization incorporated or established for religious purposes, and other religious agencies or organizations that serve religion by the preservation of religious rights and freedom from persecution or prejudice or fostering religion, including the moral and ethical aspects of a particular religious faith.

It is less common for an exemption for religious organizations to be confined to the registration or other requirements as to preapproval. Some states provide religious organizations with exemption from their registration (and sometimes reporting) or like requirements.
