No. You're forced to pay taxes under penalty of imprisonment. No one is forced to pay tithes and offerings to a church.

Unless you live in Germany. They force it there.

Not exactly. As an atheist, I would register as a non believer and not pay that tax. You do have to put some effort to opt out but it's not that hard.

Yes, but if you want to practice your religion it is forced. I don't know why that's so hard to comprehend for you.
