In Germany you receive a lot of benefits for registering as a religion, as comparable to charity. The latter which they tried for many months, even getting ripped off by lawyers. Can’t register a charity if you don’t accept money because they simply funnel money to charity themselves without being middle-men. But after this new knowledge, they instantly did it I’d guess
That paragraph sounds like you think in the US terms of registering organsiation. Which actual German registrations do you mean?
Maybe you can email reese or something reese@gamingforgood.net if you are this interested. I have no clue.
It’s hard for me to google because it’s probably in german so you have an easier time. Registering as a charity seems to give tax benefits, religion might not even exist as registration, if so it might be some form of U.N registration.
You saying that you have no clue whether what you said previously said is wrong? First you claim that registering as religion provides benefits and then you claim that it might not exist?
To me your response of giving me the email of Reese (whoever that is) sounds like you don’t care about whether what you are saying is true enough to check it for yourself.
Well, I assume that there has to be some form of registration at some level, for example, to accept donations as they have to be taxed. It’s important when you talk with people to not butcher what they say, write out of context, yes you are right. But you can respond to an entire message.
I figure you were suspicious and welcomed you to investigate, you are the one who read and writes german here and can research the tax agency or whatever. It seems as you just want to be right and don’t care whether something is strange or not.

The most likely explanation is that what you said is simply a reflection of misunderstanding what someone else told you.
No research of German laws will give me an idea about what you meant with “But after this new knowledge, they instantly did it I’d guess”.
From my feeling of suspicion because of strangeness and your answer the default response is to conclude that you don’t know what you are talking about. Or care whether the things you mention as evidence for the advantages are true.
That’s simply a writing error, I mean that they tried to register as a charity because a religion wasn’t suitable for a charity org, but after this click thing they instantly try and register religion.

The issue is that there’s no “register as religion” in Germany in the narrow sense. Religions are registered associations (Eingetragene Vereine) or (Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts). You would also register a charity as an registered associations.
If a member of your religion wants to say that you threw him out for unfair reasons, then you can argue to the government that you are a religion and don’t have to provide any rational reasons for throwing people out but otherwise there’s not much difference. In that case a judge would decide whether you should be treated as a religion or shouldn’t.

I don’t know, that’s what I heard. Are you familiar with German registrations?
I’m familiar enough to get the impression that what you are saying seems strange. I’m German.
