Not in the U.S. although the line has been blurred by George W. Bush's support of "faith based initiatives". Other countries like England have a state Church.

SECOND ANSWER

No, but they are tax exempt though. They acquire funding through donors.

Answer:

It depends which country you're asking about.

For example, the Catholic Church chose not to insure its cathedral in Parramatta, Australia. When the cathedral burnt down, the diocese said it had no funds for rebuilding, so the government stepped in with a grant for rebuilding. The Australian government considers applications from all the churches for worthwhile purposes, such as construction of a hall on church grounds, or charitable work.

In the United States, George W. Bush created the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, which is designed to help expand the role of churches and other community organisations in social problems across the nation. As a result, free government grants are available for churches.

Some European countries still deduct church tithes from the taxable income of persons registered as belonging to a church, even if they never attend the church, and may even be atheists.

The Catholic World Youth Day almost always involves substantial government financial assistance.
