"Gott ist tot" (God is dead) from a German philosopher.

I'm a German, but I don't understand this German sentence from the
German link about "Kirchensteuer" (church tax): "Seitdem ist die fiktive
Kirchensteuer auf’s Arbeitslosengeld Geschichte." IIUC church still
benefits from jobless people by getting church tax, it's just not called
church tax.
