Germany isn't even secular. "The law" doesn't apply to the church, there's a separate set of laws for them. And the taxpayer funds the church because of some agreement from 200 years ago

To put that in perspective: If he did that to 1 kid every day of the year, he would need 548 years before reaching that number. What a monster
