"Religion in Germany (or not) Installment #5 of Brent Martin's 'European Adventure' “Why is religion so important in America?” The question was posed by a German journalist as we sat drinking, he his beer and me my Coke, on a warm Sunday evening at a beer garden off a park in Berlin. It’s a tough question to answer, even though I was prepared for it.
