- cthe state depends on the religious communities.ist der Staat abhängig von den Religionsgemeinschaften.
- dthe state and religious communities form a single unit.bilden Staat und Religionsgemeinschaften eine Einheit.
Why?
In Germany there is no state church: the state and religious communities are separate (Article 140 of the Basic Law). The state is neutral and does not favour any religion. Even so, the two work together in some areas, for example in religious education at school or the church tax (Kirchensteuer).
