Summary
The religious situation in Germany is changing. This requires a modernization of the law pertaining to the general principles governing fundamental rights in Germany, a modernization which takes the specific characteristics of religion into consideration. For this reason, Claus Dieter Classen proposes a more restrictive interpretation of the individual's religious freedom and of the freedom of religious communities and also suggests a new definition of the term 'religious community'.
