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

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.

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