That's obvious, I'm not disputing that. What I'm saying is that a person can run what is legally a non profit and still profit from it. There are ways around it. If there weren't, church owners wouldn't get rich. I mean, just take one look at the Catholic Church and the Evangelical mega churches, for instance. Nobody holds those kinds of property and owns those kinds of possessions without profiteering of some kind.
There's also the very real issue of churches using tax exempt status to peddle political philosophies and support particular candidates, which is against the law, but a difficult charge to enforce in court.
