"No. The undisturbed practice of religion is expressly guaranteed by
Article 4(2) of the Basic Law. In our country this right is fully respected.
Most people in the Federal Republic are Christians, belonging either to the
Protestant or Roman Catholic Church. No clashes occur among Christians in
Germany. Nor do any problems of this kind arise in connection with other
denominations. The comprehensive freedom of religion and thus the lack of any
constraints does not give rise to any conflict in the Federal Republic.
Relations between religious denominations in Germany are manifold and
peaceful."

Greece."
Grenada

denominations in Grenada."
