In response to message #23
The Second Reich didn't have a state religion, no. And if it HAD had one, it certainly wouldn't have been Roman Catholicism. While Bismarck was less than smooth about it, it was VERY much not an accepted thing to have a potential power and influence in Germany that wasn't German, such as the Pope over the Catholic church. It wasn't religion in and of itself, but more a "Germany for the Germans" sort of thing, and the Pope was seen as an outside influence.
