In the newspaper was an article about the latest poll as to what the Germans fear (Angst).

This year's winner is not Corona Virus or terrorist or President Trump (all winners in earlier years). This year's winner is:
1. Higher taxes and fewer benefits from the State = 53%
2. Inflation = 50%

In 2016 with 52% it was Terror and the Refugee crisis.

Covid has dropped this year to range 14 with only 35%.

People were ask to rate different subjects 1 - 7. Thus more than one fear can be reported.

A new poll came out as to what Germans believe about the rule of God.

Belief that God has authority over the world.
Yes - 15%
No - 63%
Don't know - 14%
No answer - 7%

According to religion:
State Church - Lutheran/Reform = 17%
- Roman Catholic = 21%
"free" churches = 43%
Islam = 58%
No Confession = 3%

If God is non-existent and if God is not powerful enough to create the world or mange a virgin birth, then it is no wonder that He does not rule. We humans have to do everything ourselves is the majority believe. For 200 years the Bible and miracles have been under attack from German theology and this is the result.
