Not quite. Church tax in one matter. Also Muslim women wearing headscarfs are discriminated in access to certain positions in government service e.g. at school, at courts etc.
UPD And also we have Bavaria :)
- anoncake 5y agoMuslim headscarves are banned because we're a secular state and the state has to be neutral in religious matters. The Christian Democratic Union would never discriminate on the basis of religion. There is a cross in every classroom because the previous sentence was an obvious lie.
- rat87 5y agoThat's the opposite of neutrality True neutrality/freedom of religion would let people make personal choices about religous clothing. I'm not surprised that France has something so ridiculous but I'm somewhat disappointed that Germany would also fail to understand this
- anoncake 5y agoI think you misunderstood me. Of course it's the opposite of neutrality -- that's merely a fig leaf because Christianity isn't officially the state religion so conservative politicians cannot directly ban headscarves for being unchristian.
- rat87 5y agoI did misunderstand, thanks for clarifying it
