Decisão extraída
No. Donations to an organization that primarily pursues cultic purposes are not deductible.
Fundamentação extraída
The statutory donation deduction applies only to payments to tax-exempt bodies with public or exclusively charitable purposes, or to public bodies. The recipient was not tax-exempt on charitable grounds; cultic-purpose donations fall outside the deduction rule.
