Religious Conditions in Germany

THE Harvard Theological Review for January has an article on religious conditions in Germany. It is stated that 99½ per cent of the people belong to the established churches, the Lutheran or the Catholic. The half per cent belong to “sects,” a small part of which are of German origin. Of the others we read:—
Almost all the other sects have come from Great Britain or America—Methodists, Baptists, Irvingites, Adventists, Christian Scientists, Mormons, Darbyites, etc.
Of the general religious attitude we are told:—
We find that of the whole German population about 35 per cent take a friendly attitude to the Protestant Church, about 25 per cent to the Catholic Church, and that about 40 per cent are completely indifferent or hostile to all churches.
