If churches stopped going to government for approval via this tax status they would be free to speak.
This status is away for the government to keep their boots on people.
Volksverhetzung (hate speech) against the Christians by the Left is supported by the government.
They want to make Conservatives and Christians Reichsangehörigers (subject of the state with no basic civil rights, such as free speech in our Churches).
Somehow, I get the strange feeling of deja vu....
