It's how a person feels about their actions. (whether they were good or bad)
Religious conscience refers to an individual's beliefs, values, and moral convictions influenced by their religious faith. It guides a person's decisions and actions based on their understanding of what is morally right or wrong in the context of their religious teachings. It can prompt individuals to act in accordance with their faith's principles and teachings.

The Great Awakening emphasized the individual's personal relationship with God, which led to a greater emphasis on personal conscience and religious experience. This shift resulted in a more tolerant attitude towards differing religious beliefs and practices, as people were encouraged to seek their own spiritual paths and interpretations of faith.
A person with no conscience may still have a soul, as the soul is often considered separate from a developed moral compass. However, lacking a conscience may impact their humanity in terms of empathy and moral behavior. The concept of being "human" is multi-faceted, encompassing physical, emotional, and moral dimensions.
A government-controlled church is a religious institution that is directly managed or heavily influenced by the state. This arrangement can lead to restrictions on religious practices, government involvement in religious affairs, and limited freedom for the religious community. It can also blur the separation of church and state.

A non-religious person may explain conscience as a sense of inner moral compass that guides their actions based on personal values, empathy, social norms, and reasoning. It is shaped by upbringing, education, experiences, and an understanding of right and wrong that is not necessarily tied to religious beliefs.
