> The money coming from all tax payers (yes, muslims, buddhists, atheists … too!) is taken

Wrong.

> They get a free appartement, a free car with a driver and a salary near 10,000 €/Month

I guess you should leave the Catholic church then. Oh, you're not a member? Why should you have a say in what salary Catholics find adequate?

You got it wrong. What I listed is NOT what church goers pay for with their "church tax". It is paid by the State from the tax paid by ALL tax payers in the country, be their religious or not (like me). AND: The entire sum (e.g. for tax evations granted to the churches by the state) is 20.6 billion (yes, 20,600,000,000) €/year! But … they take care of our children in Kindergartens (2% paid by the church, the rest by the tax payers) with so much love and devotion, you know … maybe I should think: It's worth it. But I can't.
