I have some questions for the posters here.

You have to pay as long as you are a member of the catholic or protestant church. Actual belief is not checked.

Well, isn't a belief in God implied?

Addendum:
Its easy to leave church. Takes about 10mins in the townhall, no questions asked, no pressure applied whatsoever

Yeah, but you also have to pay 70 Euros as a fee.

As to your first question. My brother joined a Catholic church to get a break on Catholic school tuition for his son who needed the extra care of a smaller class as compared to the local public schools. Though we were raised Catholic, my siblings and I are not believers.
