EDITORIAL LEARNING AID
Why is this answer correct?
Under Article 140 of the Basic Law in conjunction with Article 136 of the Weimar Constitution, the state and religious communities are separate; the state is neutral in matters of belief. Religious communities therefore do not form the state, and the state is not dependent on them.
State and religious communities are separate; the state is neutral.
