Decision 8/1993 on the minimum number of members for the registration of a church
27 February 1993
Decision number: Decision 8/1993. (II. 27.)
Subject of the case:
The minimum number of members for the registration of a church
The requirement under the Freedom of Conscience, Freedom of Religion and Churches Act of at least 100 members to found a church is not unconstitutional because the distinction has no influence on the most important functions of the churches, such as worship, education and social charity. Moreover, the state cannot interfere with the affairs of religious communities, even if they are not established as church.
