Church and state are not properly separated in Germany, change my mind.

No objections… Germany doesn’t have secularization written in the constitution. And it’s common knowledge that both aren’t properly separated by law. Or anything else.

There is nothing to change… Sadly

The two big churches have been losing members for decades. I suppose it will limit their influence in the coming years.

And yet people here still don’t see the church as a problen even if, or sometimes especially if they aren’t religious themselves…

Diplomjodler,

And don’t forget that they’re in any media advisory council so criticism of the churches is systematically suppressed.
