Saturday ATHEISM MAKES GAIN IN- GERMANY 1,700,000 Protestants Leave Churches—Cathelic Loss Is 300,000. | | pecial Dispaten to The star. | BERLIN, April 30.—Inclusion in th® Hindenburg-Bruening emergency decree of March 28 of specific meas- ures combating anti-religious agitation brought sharply to public attention a suggestion of the extent to which god- less prcpaganda has progressed in Ger- many. Pigures now available reveal that the Christian faith in the Reich has lost more than 2,000,000- of its adherents to atheism and kindred groups in the | last 25 years. This secession has cost | the Protestant Church some 1,700,000 |of its members, the Catholic Church, 300,000. About 600,000 of the secessionists are organized in the German Society of Freethinkers, which is made up largely | of Socialists and dominated by them. It has a branch in which the Com- | munists voic# radicalism of a brand | which goes beyond the more moderate | position of a majority of the society. | The Communists, moreover, have | founded a Freethinkers' Society of their | own, the membership of which 15 not | great as yet, but which may depend upon the enormous reservoir of the whole Communist party. According to Red newspaper reports the number of persons declaring their separation from the church in Berlin alone has aver- aged 300 a day of late. Red Anti-Religious Influence. Under Moscow influence an inten- sive, propaganda for leaving the church {has set in throughout Germany. Through the medium of the Com- munist party this propaganda is sown on whatever may prove fallow soil; this |includes & mass of persons who have remained simply nominal and -disin- terested church members, _Many of these, being unemplcyed or having in- | comes of less than 1,400 marks ($350) a year, are free of the church tax any- |how and have not even a technical bond with religion. In Germany, it must be understood, the churches have a right to levy a | certain percentage of the state income lected for them by the state authori- ties. In addition to this legal obligation to support religion in Germany, & churchman may not withdraw from membership simply by stepping out and | declining to'attend services. He must go before a court and apply to have the act of his separation from the church | registered. ~ Before the application is granted the court notifies the parson of the parish concerned to give him a last ity .to prevail upen the erring member of his flock. This fail- ing, the application must be granted and registered, but the renegade has to pay his church taxes in any case for | another year. These handicaps to secessiop from the church fail to deter anti-religious propaganda in Germany. Soviet Rus- sia’s Alliance of the Godless is under- | stood to furnish a goodly part of the | support behind the movement. | Vulgar Propaganda. | The methods, from any angle you | Iook at it, are crude and vulgar. Gross | cartoons posters are exhibited; | abuse of priests ‘and ministers of the gospel is unbridled; Communist news- papers carry columns of these clumsy | diatribes. Here is a characteristic wit- ticism: priest murmurs, “Now I can die happily. for Jesus Christ, like myself, perished with a at each side One has heard too many variations of that line to stamp it either as very original or very clever. It has been the custom for years in Berlin that demonstrations which might give factions cause for at- tack have been protected on their march by police squads in auf As a consequence, one might have wit~ nessed some time ago a big truck with two Communists m as drunken, cavortil priests, solemnly escorted by two police cars. That was unintended irony, for, to a Berlin po- liceman, duty is duty wherever it lies. Hooliganism of this sort (intensified at times like Christmas and Easter) is what led to the emergency decree's taking cognizance of its threat to pub- | lic peace. Plus the fact that a violent | spread of atheism, based on sheer de- | structionism rather than on any sin- | cere disbelief, constitutes a danger to | they social and political security of the | state. ” Have Support In Reichstag. | . Church authorities, at the same time, have received a warning from the minister of the interior, Dr. Wirth, not to overstep the limit on their own part in denouncing the Freethinkers for sim- ply following honest convictions. The Freethinkers, as a matter of fact, epresentation and without religious affiliation of any sort. ‘Specials Every Item a Real Bargain Diamond Ring 5395 Gentleman’s Onyx Initial Your Choice Full Value Allowed in Exchange $18 v.l... $9:i5 Extra Special!

Most of these are Communists and So- cialists, with a smattering drawn from the bourgeois parties and the Fascists. ‘The_ Alliance of the Godless in Rus- sia, which is working probably harder in Germany than in other countries, is said to have 4,000,000 members now and to expect to bring its roster up to 17,000,000 within the next two years. It accepts children as juvenile members at 8 years of age and as full members at 14, ‘The meeting of its executive com- mittee, called for May 10 in Moscow, is to ponder bigger and better ways of helping the anti-religious movement abroad.
