Question juridique clé
Whether the taxpayer may obtain a reduction of her cantonal tax because public funds are used for clergy salaries.
Solution extraite
No. General cantonal taxes are not constitutionally reducible on the ground that some revenue is used for religious purposes.
Motifs extraits
The freedom of religion protects against compulsory membership and special cultic taxes, but general taxes fund public tasks and are not earmarked. The indirect link between taxation and later spending on recognized churches is too remote to amount to coercive religious support.
