Is Germany on the path to secularization?

Why, the Religion of Peace, of course...
Regular church attendees are a minority in most industrialized countries. Germany is not unique, may just a higher percentage of atheists compared to others.
no restraint...
‘ Western Europe as a whole is a godless spiritual wasteland where state-sponsored secular humanism is the official religion.’
Secular is religion now?
Lol
no worries
islam will fill the void
Yes. But the UK is showing us that it's only a transition before they convert to a new religion.
I think most Germans became atheists in the belief they are least likely to be slain by Muslims.
