OK - who/what defines what a "church" is?

"Rev Gene" (W.Eugene Scott), one of the first TV preachers in the
1970s, tried to claim that his radio and TV stations (licensed to
House of Faith, at one time a real church but by that time merely a
shell for his radio and TV operations) were his "church" and
therefore immune from FCC and California Attorney General audit and
investigation of claims of misappropriation of donated funds. The
Supreme Court of the US disagreed with him and eventually he lost
all the stations, some in outright license revocation and some in
tax sales.
