If one food bank has to pay taxes because it is a religious organization and the other does not because it is not religious then the taxes are being used to punish the religious group for being a religious group. Normally taxes aren’t a punishment but in this case they would be.
If you’re going to be telling the hungry people you are feeding that they are going to hell if they don’t convert to your religion (or the equivalent) then you should be taxed. If you don’t do that, then you have nothing to worry about! I already said I believe branches of religious institutions that don’t proselytize or encourage seeing sermons shouldn’t be taxed, so I’m not sure what you want me to say. I’m sorry I fit your definition of a bigot, but I don’t think enough people agree with you for it to ever matter. Have a nice life.

Religious food banks tend not to evangelize while handing out bags of food.
