Well, of course there is that. I did gain some comfort from knowing that when they cited the millions of catholics (or whatever the number was) mourning the pope's death, there were probably a lot of people like me artifically being used to inflate the number.
I learned recently too that Germans must pay a tax to their church of choice, or forfeit participation in it. German religious membership is pretty low, though perhaps no moreso than the average european country.
