First off, governments get enough taxes. Frankly, I believe the majority of people are taxed too much (that includes the rich). If they figured out what a budget is and how to prioritize their spending on things that would help the entire country, they wouldn't need to bleed people dry. 

My answer to your title and OP is no, governments shouldn't start regulating religion. Governments would be overstepping with that.

I believe in the complete seperation of government and religion. Government free from religion and religion free from government. If a religion or cult is not harming anyone physically, leave 'em alone. Laws or government policies should never be based off of a religious belief.
