I live in Bavaria, and the party that has pretty much run the Bavarian
government for the last fifty years is called the "Christian Social Union".
Doesn't sound "outlawed" to me. Hey, these guys even threw a hissy fit when
the German Supreme Court suggested that it might be a good idea to remove
crucifixes from a few public elementary school rooms - and they seem to have
gotten away with it, too.

All in all, I'd argue that the seperation between church and state is
actually _less_ here in Germany than in the USA!
