People in Germany live by the principle of religious tolerance. What does this mean?
In the exam (German)
Die Menschen in Deutschland leben nach dem Grundsatz der religiösen Toleranz. Was bedeutet das?
- aNo mosques may be built.Es dürfen keine Moscheen gebaut werden.
- bEveryone believes in God.Alle Menschen glauben an Gott.
- cEveryone can believe what they want.Jeder kann glauben, was er möchte.Correct answer
- dThe state decides which god people believe in.Der Staat entscheidet, an welchen Gott die Menschen glauben.
Why?
Religious tolerance means that every person may believe what they want – or not believe in anything at all. Freedom of faith is in Article 4 of the Basic Law (Grundgesetz), and the state does not prescribe a religion to anyone. That is why religious communities may also build their own houses of prayer, for example churches, mosques or synagogues.
