Translation
Which statement is correct? In Germany ...
- A state and religious communities are separate from each other. ✓ Correct answer
- B religious communities form the state.
- C the state is dependent on religious communities.
- D state and religious communities form a unity.
Explanation
Germany has no state church, and the Basic Law keeps the state neutral and separate from religious communities, while still allowing cooperation such as church tax collection or religious education in schools. That cooperation does not mean they form a unity.
Tips
- Separate but cooperating is the key idea, church tax and religious classes do not undo the separation.
- Rule out any option where religion controls or forms the state.
