Answer 1

B/ The main point of the quotation is religion and government will both be better if they are separate.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Government is always for the people and by the people. So, the role of the federal government is to protect the people who follow various religion. In a democratic setup the constitution is framed in such way that freedom of practicing religion will be well documented.

Based on the constitution every citizen will be given safety and security to follow the religious practices. So, from the above statement if the religion and government are separated means it will be good to the society.
