I agree with all you said. A similar system is in place where I live but the best argument I’ve heard in favour of keeping it is simply this:

If you take the relatively small state funding away and make the churches seek members to fund themselves, then be prepared that they will go and do just that. We might get American style megachurches with everything that comes with them, real fast.

I realise it is an argument based on fear, but oh do I fear it.

I'm up for this - Europe needs mega-churches! There are about forty churches near me...they take turns in rotating the congregations around, so (for example) i get fucked by the traffic every eight weeks, in a five week loop, depending on the particular church. One giant church, also televised or streamed, would be fuckin' A. On the other hand, looking atvthe German modrl, would i have to pay to opt out of the streaming service?
