Answer:

A government nor religion should control the people's lives. Religion is for enlightenment of the soul and shouldn't control the lives of its worshippers. From the 16th century to the 19th century, the Catholic Church would control its worshipper through fear in England and would draw out money in the process. A religion might dangle predestination in front of the noses of its worshippers and violate human rights by saying it was meant to be. Governments that control its people's lives are usually authoritarian and probably have committed many human rights violations. The worst that could happen with this is a combination of controlling churches and governments; Religious-based Governments. Religious-based countries may follow a doctorine set within the religion and might cause oppression among the population.

The government should not control people religion, only religion can control someone life because that’s them deviating there lives to God and Jesus. So when the government says no bible, no hijabs or anything religious it hurts others because they are spreading the truth and man kind is afraid of the truth.
