Yeah. But political interference will cost a church it's tax exempt status.

Churches are set up as 501(3)(c) charities and are therefore tax exempt. They are expressly prohibited from any political activity (PACs are a special case).

Political Campaign Activity
Under the Internal Revenue Code, all IRC Section 501(c)(3) organizations, including churches and religious organizations, are absolutely prohibited from directly or
indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or
in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office. Contributions to political
campaign funds or public statements of position (verbal or written) made by or on
behalf of the organization in favor of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public
office clearly violate the prohibition against political campaign activity. Violation
of this prohibition may result in denial or revocation of tax-exempt status and the
imposition of excise tax.

From here.
