The past conflicts on religion have taught modern-day
governments that all people have the right to practice their faith. However, affairs of the state should not be
influenced by any institution religious or otherwise. As we have seen in the past when faith and
politics mix, it always leads to conflict as the church has a tendency to prioritizes
its policies above all else. A good of
proof of separation of church and state is when government allows religious
minorities to practice their faith without fear of discrimination from the
religious majority.
