English is widely spoken in Germany, especially among the nation's younger generations as a heavy emphasis has been placed on learning English to fluency and many Germans have achieved this. French and other major international languages are also commonly taught, but not as widely as English.
Religion
The Germans are rather divided religiously. As home to the Protestant Reformation, about a third of the population is Protestant, but other parts remained Catholic, which represents another third of the population. The last third tend to be either unaffiliated to any particular religion or, as in the case of the Turks, are Muslim.
Protestantism is a general term referring to nearly every Christian religion that is not Catholic or Orthodox. Like all Christian faiths, Protestants believe there is one God and that His son, Jesus is the savior and forgiver of sins. Protestants also believe that the Bible, which includes the Old and New Testaments, is the only true word of God. Due to this reliance on the Bible, nearly every protestant faith, and even individual, may interpret the Bible differently, which has led to a huge number of Protestant churches.
