Where in live, in Bavaria (Germany), the Church Tax is 8%. So if you pray to God, you also have to pay him 8% of your income. In our capitalistic times even God's grace isn't free. Thankfully the tax is applied only for people who declared their religion, so I as an atheist don't have to pay anything

Heard that some % of your salary directly goes to the Church...Correct me, I think all the giving to the Church, comes only if I want to become member. Else I can go and sit there and come back to my home.
