Religion yes, Church no! Religiousness in Today's Germany

Many things have changed in the German religious scene since the 196os. The percentage of Christians has fallen from almost 100% to half, while the group of those who are "without religion" in the German population, in 2016, amounted to more than a third. Both inside and outside the Christian Churches there is a need to accept the spiritual experiences of other religions as well. Perry Schmidt-Leukel, an expert on multi-religion, makes a comparison with food and speaks of an "a la carte religion", arguing that for many people it will be normal in the future to have different religious affiliadons, as happened to personalities like Henri Le Saux, Raimon Panikkar and Frithjof Schuon. As long as the Churches are not willing to accept this new reality, the rule will remain "religion yes, Church no".
