Bismarck distrusted Catholics especially the clergy whose first loyalty he believed was to the pope instead of to Germany. In response to what he saw as the Catholic threat, Bismark launched the battle for civilization. His goal was to make Catholics put loyalty to the state above allegiance to the Church.

If your crush has an interest in your religion does that mean she is interested in you also if you wanted your crush to go to your catholic church with you how can you ask her to do so?

Absolutely not. The only way to know if someone is interested in you is to ask. Asking is also the best way to find out if someone is willing to attend church with you. A simple "Would you like to go to church with me this sunday?" should suffice.

Crush the infamous thing?

Written by Voltaire, a French Enlightenment writer who used biting satire to comment on the flaws of life. When writing this he criticises Christianity. During the Enlightenment (a period in which reason was the primary authority) a religious movement known as deism came about. It is often described to as the clock-model in which God is a clockmaker who once He has created the clock (the world) leaves it be (goes away and doesn't involve himself in it every again). Voltaire liked Deism and this, compounded with the flaws of the Roman Catholic Church pushed him to write this satirical piece against the Church. Through it, Voltaire hoped to crush the flaws of the church such as simony (selling of church offices and paying to get into heaven...this practice began during the Crusades) and the orgies of the Popes and other high ranking officials.

What do you do if your crush is from a different religion?

I think you have to find someone else because if you want to get married you can't do it at your Church because he/she doesn't believe in what you do, but you can't do it at his/her Church because you don't believe in what he/she does. I know it hurts but that's what I have to try and do now. Sniff. Sniff.♥
