#BestOf2022 ❓🙏 Do you live in a country where the freedom of religious worship is guaranteed by the constitution? 🇩🇪 Germany has no state church. The basis of the relationship between state and religion is the freedom of religion enshrined in the Basic Law, the separation of church and state in the sense of the state’s religious neutrality and the right to self-determination of the religious communities. ⛪ The religious landscape in Germany is shaped by increasing plurality and secularisation. As a consequence of the ageing membership and high levels of people leaving the Christian churches, the number of believers is falling. In 2018 alone, 309,000 people left the Catholic Church. The Evangelical Church reported 395,000 persons less than in the prior year. The low number of believers in east Germany is particularly striking. 🕌 Islam is gaining in significance for religious life owing to migration. 🕍 Jewish life in Germany, which was entirely destroyed after the Holocaust, has been revived since the end of the Cold War thanks to migrants from the former USSR. #InsideGermany #AboutGermany #Germany #religion #freedom #church #belief #jews #christians #muslims #reformation #catholic #protestant #luther Curious about @deutschland_de ?
