Yes it did. This is because the laws and government of the Roman government were connected to religious rules and, especially, augury (the divination of the omens of the gods). Decisions which affected public concerns had to be preceded by augury.

Who believes that government should not make laws about religion?

I believe that only certain laws should be made concerning religion There is no government that advocates the view that no laws should be promulgated concerning religion. The United States Constitution is probably most direct on the issue, prohibiting three major sets of laws about religion that cannot be promulgated: those concerning the establishment of a national religion, those limiting the free exercise of religion, and those requiring a religious test for citizenship or government post. However, there are numerous laws concerning religion, such as how they should be taxed, what places they can build new houses of worship, what should be taught in science classrooms, etc.

What do you think is the proper role of religion in making laws for civil society?

This is NO role for religion in making laws. The need for a secular society is important to maintain a free society where people can worship as they wish. When religion is part of the government it becomes a state religion that doesn’t allow for the freedom of religion. When the English colonies began some came to escape the persecution by the state because they refused to worship according to the government rules.
